Editorial Review Product Description Denis Hollier, who has written a new introduction to this edition, setsout Bataille's ideas in a way that is lucid and dazzling yet faithful toBataille's own commitment to the formally elusive and heterogeneous.Taking into account the Bataillian requirement that such a commitmentoperate not only on the theoretical plane, Hollier's own writing echoesBataille's position that writing is always linked to discord ordisharmony. Against Architecture opens, in fact, with twobeginnings, the second of which is bent on undoing the first. The initial beginning is a theoretical excursus on Hegel's aesthetics,showing how the commanding position architecture is given in Hegel'sphilosophical edifice underlies a deeper and more fundamental modelingof his philosophical system according to the pattern of architecture--amodeling that turns philosophy itself into the servant of architecture.the second beginning is an analysis of Bataille's earliest text: afervent prayer for the restoration of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame atReims after its bombing during World War I. This religious meditationHollier sees as the paradoxical origin of the long series of violationsat work in Bataille's later writings. In the second half of the book, "The Caesarean," Hollier analyzes theinterplay between two modalities of built space--the pyramid and thelabyrinth. The labyrinth was the elusive, almost invisible model ofspatiality through which Bataille induced the undoing of structureslinguistic as well as architectural. Hollier looks at the way thatBataille went on to map the space of the labyrinth onto the space of thebody, and at the myths--the Pineal Eye, the Solar Anus--that hedeveloped to project this complementary system. |

A Portrait of Projection, Deception, and Deceit ...
Morally candid, but overdone. Robert breaks down psychologically, fainting at a church service he is attempting to deliver with Eponine in the congregation. Robert begins drinking heavily, and begins stalking Eponine's home in the dead of night, leaving behind sick signs of his presence. He can no longer discern good from evil, nor morality from immorality, and eventually cracks altogether, leaving town for a hotel on the outskirts, where he stays with two semi-professional ladies of looser morals than Eponine's. The novel twists a few more times from there, then resolves itself tragically. The book is essentially a reflection on morality and cowardice, the latter being the human element required for maintaining morality, but also for being true to one's self, which can sometimes oppose what we believe to be moral. While it has an interesting theme, it is written almost entirely for shock value (or at least what passes for shock value for an author born in 1897, and writing in 1950), but does not convincingly expound upon or communicate its theme to the reader. For one instance, we are never convinced Robert was so pious to begin with. He does not earn his title "L'Abbe" in our eyes, so we are not affected by his supposed turning away from piety during the book. Bataille has written this book in an old-fashioned style, almost Victorian, using wrenching emotional adjectives, and over-romanticized means of communicating inner thoughts. It is a bit overdone for the "been there, done that" reader of today, and not handsome enough for the admirer of 19th-century literature. (Also, there is some reference to Nazis near the end of the story. Judging from another Bataille book, "Blue of Noon", Bataille seems to throw Nazis into the bargain when he can no longer figure out where to go, and when he needs to show someone else as depraved as his other characters. The reference to Nazis is unecessary and superficial.) This is a very short work, 158 pages, written in a halting diarized style in most parts. It's almost a pamphlet, hardly a full book. In the final analysis, this is a sexually frank and morally candid tale, but one that is philosophical and even memorable. It may not be great literature, the ending may be a bit incongruous, and it may read as though it is fifty years older than it really is, but it was an interesting little volume nonetheless. I subtract a star, however, because it is a tiny little book at a full-size price.

Editorial Review Product Description Considering the seeming antithesis between Weil's heroic political engagement and Bataille's antipolitical aestheticism, Saints of the Impossible brings out the insufficiently recognized performative dimension of Weil's politics, while revealing the political reach of Bataille's mystical writings. As it opens a new perspective on both Weil and Bataille, the book also points to a new way of understanding the uses and abuses of sacred power and the performative in an era of philosophical disorientation, social chaos, and war. Alexander Irwin is assistant professor of religion at Amherst College and a research associate of the Boston-based Institute for Health and Social Justice. |
