Inner Experience
Transgress the limits of experience The book, "Inner Experience", was compiled post-humously from notes Bataille kept with the intention of putting into book form. Nonetheless, "Inner Experience" is very comprehensive and essential to understanding Bataille's philosophies of base materialism, expenditure, the sacred and the need to transgress the limits of experience. Recommended reading by Bataille: "Story of the Eye", "Documents", and "Visions of Excess" a collection of essays (edited by Allan Stoeckl). Also, to learn more about Bataille, look up "Against Architecture: The Writings of Georges Bataille", by Dennis Hollier ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description With careful attention to Bataille's historical and intellectual context, Connor raises manyimportant questions: What drew Bataille to the mystics? How did he conceive of their thought inrelation to his own? And what is the connection between mysticism and morality? This lastquestion raises an especially interesting issue for Bataille, an atheist whom readers generallyassociate with images of transgression and sin. Through examination of Bataille'swritings—including Inner Experience and his underappreciated final book, Tears ofEros—Connor shows the surprising connection between Bataille's mysticism and his sense ofpersonal and political ethics. Mysticism, Connor argues, lies at the heart of Bataille's doubleidentity as an intellectual and as a kind of anarchic prophet. |

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (4)
The postmodern canon Bataille claims Genet did not know how to give, because he liked to betray people. And since he did not know how to give, he wasn't truly evil because he sacrifices nothing. By which Bataille means that he doesn't know how to take. There's no collusion with doing a 100% gratuitous act, like committing suicide. (Let's face it: the suicide is the most selfish person around. The subway system in my city is frequently held up by them, preventing all sorts of people from going to work on time. All because their life is depressing.) Bataille's entire oeuvre is a celebration of paradoxes and the idea of give = take is not so far from his idea in Inner Experience of the subjectobject. Apparently contemporary postmodern theory finds itself in crisis. Any outside observer could tell you why: the thinkers are opaque. The reason they are opaque is because they like to give. What Bataille knew is that in order to give, you also have to take. Hence his exoteric, loquacious facade and his esoteric, unutterable interior. If you are an American postmodernist, you ignore this advice at your peril.

Editorial Review Product Description In response to this growing interest, The Bataille Reader includes key texts from the broad spectrum of Bataille's work, from the early essays interrogating surrealism and cultural politics in the 1930s, down to texts from The Accursed Share (1949, translated 1988), a major engagement in post-Marxist economic theory generally regarded as being his most important work. Generous coverage is given to Bataille's speculations, also of the 1930s, on the limits of being, experience and identity, as well as to his post-war engagements with existentialism, Marxism, and Hegelianism. The major texts are interspersed with some of the brilliantly punctual essays Bataille produced throughout his career as a prolific essayist, reviewer and originator of highly-influential journals, such as Documents, Acephale and Critique. Clearly introduced and comprehensively annotated by the editors, this book provides the best single-volume coverage of Bataille's work available. Customer Reviews (2)
Excellent, substantive introduction to Bataille's writings
Bataille le nouveau mystique! In the most literal sense, Bataille's writings arepersonal: the narrations (pornography, poems), philosophical discourses(Inner Experience, On Nietzsche) and interpretations (book review, artcriticism) he put forward are originated from his intense desire toappropriate life's meaning/mystery.Interspersed over the pages in presentReader are principal leitmotivs of Bataille: laughter, death, chance, gift,transgressions etc.In these texts we shall never encounter the stiffcoldness common to certain analytical philosophers.Bataille uplifts usfrom solid ground and force us to head for the furthest in our intellectualreserch.Sometimes, if not always, reading Bataille could be an unbearbaleexperience. Passages from "Madame Edwarda" in this Reader can beserved as a test for your tolerance.To me it is the most importanttheological investigation ever written by Bataille - the prostitute asincarnation of divinity.After reading this text may be you would agreewith Sartre in calling Bataille a "New Mystic". This BatailleReader is indeed an ideal 'book of initiation' to Bataille - the mostinspiringFrench thinker born a hundred and three years ago. Afterall,I'm happy to place this excellent compendium next to the 12 yellow bricks(the French Gallimard edition of Oeuvres completes looks like bricks)already lying on my shelf. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description One of the most provocative and controversial writers of his time, these essays comprise George Bataille's most incisive study of surrealism. For Bataille, the absence of myth had itself become the myth of the modern age. In a world that had lost the secret of its cohesion, Bataille saw surrealism as both a symptom and a beginning of an attempt to address this loss. His writings on this theme are the result of a profound reflection in the wake of World War Two. The Absence of Myth is the most incisive study yet made of surrealism, insisting on its importance as a cultural and social phenomenon with far-reaching consequences. Clarifying Bataille's links with the surrealist movement, and throwing revealing light on his complex and greatly misunderstood relationship with Andre Breton, The Absence of Myth shows Bataille to be a much more radical figure than his postmodernist devotees would have us believe: a man who continually tried to extend Marxist social theory; a pessimistic thinker, but one as far removed from nihilism as can be. |

Editorial Review Product Description As the price of oil climbs toward $100 a barrel, our impending post-fossil fuel future appears to offer two alternatives: a bleak existence defined by scarcity and sacrifice or one in which humanity places its faith in technological solutions with unforeseen consequences. Are there other ways to imagine life in an era that will be characterized by resource depletion? The French intellectual Georges Bataille saw energy as the basis of all human activity—the essence of the human—and he envisioned a society that, instead of renouncing profligate spending, would embrace a more radical type of energy expenditure: la dépense, or “spending without return.” In Bataille’s Peak, Allan Stoekl demonstrates how a close reading of Bataille—in the wake of Giordano Bruno and the Marquis de Sade— can help us rethink not only energy and consumption, but also such related topics as the city, the body, eroticism, and religion. Through these cases, Stoekl identifies the differences between waste, which Bataille condemned, and expenditure, which he celebrated. The challenge of living in the twenty-first century, Stoekl argues, will be to comprehend—without recourse to austerity and self-denial—the inevitable and necessary shift from a civilization founded on waste to one based on Bataillean expenditure. Allan Stoekl is professor of French and comparative literature at Penn State University. He is the author of Agonies of the Intellectual: Commitment, Subjectivity, and the Performative in the Twentieth-Century French Tradition and translator of Bataille’s Visions of Excess: Selected Writings, 1927–1939 (Minnesota, 1985). |
