  • Corps célestes1

    Open AccessGeorges BatailleARTICLESocio-anthropologie2021

    Les hommes apparaissent à la surface d’un corps céleste où leur existence se mêle à celle des plantes et des autres animaux. Ce corps céleste apparaît lui-même en un point quelconque de l’espace vide – tel que la nuit en révèle l’immensité – animé d’un mouvement complexe dont la rapidité est vertigineuse : les obus sont mille fois plus lents que la Terre gravitant avec le Soleil et l’ensemble des planètes autour du centre galactique. Il serait dé…

  • On the Ambiguity of Pleasure and Play

    Open AccessGeorges BatailleARTICLETheory Culture & Society2018Cited by: 2

    This lecture argues for a theory of play that departs from the Freudian analysis of pleasure and pain that associates pleasure with the resolution of a psychic tension or anxiety rather than with play and its ambiguities. It advances the idea that poetry, the domain of the aesthetic, eroticism, as well as that of the sacred involve forms of play. Play is here conceptualized in its positive aspect as an experience beyond reflective consciousness o…

  • Definition of Heterology

    Open AccessGeorges BatailleARTICLETheory Culture & Society2018Cited by: 10

    In this text, Bataille clarifies his idea of the 'excluded part', i.e. that which is left behind by science. Bataille seeks to create an approach that would challenge the abstracted method of science, which presents the world as idealized and homogeneous. The aim of Bataille's 'science of the heterogeneous' is to shed light on the unproductive expenditure of life, which moves between the sacred and the unclean. In pursuing this, he debunks the co…

  • Hegel, a morte e o sacrifício

    Open AccessGeorges BatailleARTICLEAlea Estudos Neolatinos2013

    In the Lectures of 1805-1806, at the moment of his thought's full maturity, during the period when he was writing The Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel expressed in these terms the black character of humanity: Man is that night, that empty Nothingness, which contains everything in its undivided simplicity: the wealth of an infinite number of representations, of images, not one of which comes precisely to mind, or which [moreover], are not [there] in…

  • Les trois écologies

    Georges Bataille, Félix GuattariARTICLEEcoRev2013Cited by: 54

    Félix Guattari montre ici que face au marché mondial et aux complexes militaro-industriels, seule une articulation éthico-politique - qu'il nomme ' l'écosophie ' - entre les dimensions de la subjectivité humaine, des rapports sociaux et de l'environnement, peut permettre, à l'opposé d'une perspective technocratique, de faire face aux déséquilibres écologiques menaçants la planète Terre et la vie sur sa surface

  • The Place of Violence

    Georges BatailleARTICLEParallax2000

    Language grounded in a lie. Translator, traitor. A consideration of Bataille’s language, a translation of Bataille brings us, indirectly but inescapably, to the question of violence. The violence of the translation is old hat, right – but it still very much hits home. Passons. The violence in Bataille’s style is another question, and it is time somebody talked about it, about his style in general. The style of a pornographer? Precisely: pornograp…

  • The Bataille reader

    Georges Bataille, Fred Botting et al.BOOKThe Bataille reader1997

    The idea of editing a Bataille Reader in 320 pages might sound unthinkable to any French scholars of Bataille. Similar collection has never been appeared in France. The reason for such absence might be due to the complexity of the thought of Bataille and the voluminous nature of his writings. Once a devoted theology student, a libertine, a surrealist dissident, chief organizer for "College de Sociologie", founder of secret society "Acephale" and …

    This major collection of essays on the Marquis de Sade, first published in 1995, encompasses a wide range of critical approaches to his œuvre, including some of the most celebrated texts in Sade scholarship. It focuses on several distinctly contemporary areas of interest: the explicitly libidinal components of Sade's work and the effects they engender, the textual and narrative apparatus which supports these operations, the ethical and political …
