Critical vanguard studies: an inter(re)view.(Mike Sell)(Interview)
On March 8, 2008, Professor Mike Vanden Heuvel, Chair of the Theater and Drama Department at University of Wisconsin-Madison, conducted an interview with Dr. Mike Sell, English Professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, with some questions contributed by M.A. and Ph.D. students from UW-Madison. In this interview, Professor Sell discusses his interests in and theories of the avant-garde, theater history, the Black Arts Movement, bohemianism and the on-going racism shown against the Roma ethnic group, and issues of art and terrorism. Professor Sell's visit to UW-Madison occurred in conjunction with the Lorraine Hansberry Symposium: Legacies of African-American Literature and Theater and the university theater's production of Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, adapted by Lydia Diamond.

Mike Vanden Heuvel: So, good afternoon. Thank you all for joining us. We've been thinking about entitling this an "inter(re)view" ...
Mike Sell: Yeah.
MVH: The notion is that we can sneak some reviewer-type comments regarding your recent book into our conversation today. So, along those lines, let me say that we are very pleased to welcome Professor Mike Sell to campus. Those of you lucky enough to be present at his talk yesterday learned that Mike is a prominent scholar of the Black Arts Movement in general and of the playwright Ed Bullins in particular. Today we're going to focus a bit more on his work in relationship to avant-garde studies, in which the Black Arts Movement plays an important role, so we'll range over the 2005 University of Michigan book, Avant-Garde Performance and the Limits of Criticism: Approaching The Living Theater, Happenings/Fluxus, and the Black Arts Movement.

MS: The title really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
MVH: [Laughing] It does. You know, it's one of those little subtitles that takes ownership over the whole title.
MS: Yeah.
