Bataille’s Paleolithic Detour
Palaeo or Neo? Bataille, Lévi-Strauss and the Rewriting of Prehistory
This article's polemical thrust begins with Georges Bataille's 1956 critique of Tristes Tropiques, where Lévi-Strauss omits the Palaeolithic while extolling the Neolithic advent of agriculture and sedentism. Whereas Lévi-Strauss describes his own thinking as Neolithic, he characterizes it in ways that resemble the behaviour of hunter-gatherers and nomads. I trace this contradiction to current scholarship willing to challenge the long-standing nar…
Bataille's Prehistoric Turn
The contribution of this study to existing scholarship is threefold. First, it extends heterology's timeline beyond the late 1930s to encompass the final phase of Bataille's career (1955-62) devoted to prehistory. It argues that heterology's keyword - the wholly other - furnished an entry point into the prehistoric past marginalized by traditional historiography. Second, it demonstrates that the exemplar of prehistory's otherness is silence. Alon…

Myth, power and the sacred
This paper justifies the current revival of interest in the Collège by examining the relevance of its 'sacred sociology' to post-war anti-utilitarianism. The link between the two periods and set of issues is provided by the review M.A.U.S.S., inspired by Marcel Mauss's seminal essay on the gift. Mauss was the direct and indirect ethnographic mentor for the Collège's main figures - Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois and Michel Leiris. How they effec…

Among the early essays Georges Bataille published between 1931 and 1934 in the leftist review La Critique sociale, Notion of Expenditure, Problem of the State, and Psychological Structure of Fascism still stand as brilliant innovations in cultural theory. They have also generated intense polemical reactions ranging from denunciation of fascistic tendencies' to concern for equivocations.2 The author himself voiced reservations subsequent to their …
Scandal and Aftereffect
Rejection and renewal
While Durkheim is the acknowledged master of modern French sociology, he is also responsible for providing it with the distinguishing feature of encompassing ethnology within its purview. This specificity—and the way it influenced the developments of Durkheimianism following his death in 1917—guides our overview of the mixed reception to Durkheim's work marked by rejection as well as renewal. It also informs the assessment of the broader contribu…
