		Georges Bataille was born in France in 1897, into a generation that grew up just in time to go off and die in their hundreds of thousands in the trenches of World War I. Bataille served in the army for short time during 1916, but he was discharged because of tuberculosis.

		The moment of rupture is the moment of transgression.For Bataille transgression is a moment of loss; it is the rupture of a subject; it is its death.

	From Myth to Market
		Bataille’s relevance is due to his being an at once unconscious Kleinian and an unconscious pacifist loosener of her view of partial objects.

		In his stooping to a derelict objectality Bataille reaches the conclusion of the neoclassical tradition as Gans has described it,(63) the historical destiny of which was to escape from the culture of shame through the association of beauty with the entirety of experience.

		For the one Bataille calls a philosopher, this heaviness is an obstacle; classically, the philosopher attempts to leap over the idiom of a natural language in order to write of the thing itself.
		Bataille’s words, given the concerns he expresses about poetry on other occasions (the original title of The Impossible was, indeed, The Hatred of Poetry), are perhaps surprising: ‘poetic existence in me addresses itself to poetic existence in others’.

	Georges Bataille (1897-1962)
		Georges Bataille was a French anthropologist, sociologist, writer and philosopher in the tradition of Marquis de Sade, Lautréamont and Breton.
		In Bataille any human being is no more than a conduit for communicative process, a channel for ideas which pass through him/her."If, as it appears to me, a book is communication, then the author is only a link among many readings."* The author is simply a node on a network, through which ideas pass.
		Bataille employs this notion of communication in the context of his critique of Jean-Paul Sartre's notion of the subject as cogito: "The cogito, for Sartre, is the inviolable, atemporal, irreducible foundation....

	Ephilosopher :: Continental Philosophy :: Rethinking Bataille (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Eroticism and the erotic life are important to Bataille to begin with primarily because he sees the first hints of his philosophy in erotic moments (also in moments of pain which, to some degree, are the same for him).
		Continuing from these characteristics of nonproductive expenditure, Bataille describes a “general economy” where loss or nonproductive expenditure is just as important as the growth of individual organisms, groups of individuals, and the exchange of monetary wealth (involving gain and utility).
		For Bataille there is both this kind of identity, found in his formulation of the improbable individual, but also this wound which illuminates identity in a different way.

	Bataille Versus Theory, an essay by Jason DeBoer
		Bataille, on the other hand, has reveled in the imprecision of such terms as “philosophy”, and, instead of specializing and building on such traditional notions, he has deployed his own set of concepts from the basis of whim (which he saw as the opposite of specialization).
		Bataille creates a dichotomy between experience and theory… with silence, sovereignty, and concern with the moment functioning as aspects of inner experience, and language, servility, and preparation for the future existing as inherent aspects of theory.
		Bataille was no irrationalist, but his critique of the metaphysics anchoring theory finally involved a rejection of reason itself, in order to purge the mind of any need for a connection with a God or metaphysical foundation.

		Explain what Bataille means here: "present-day society is a huge counterfeit, where this truth of wealth has underhandedly slipped into extreme poverty" (380).
		What does Bataille mean in his suggestion that the overall result is that "individual interest is mocked"; that "the individual accumulation of resources is doomed to destruction"; and that "the lies of the rich are changed into truth" (379)?

		But it was in the 1960s that the potential for a metaphoric equivalence between the violation of sexual taboos and the violation of discursive norms that we associate with the theory of textuality became fully elaborated.
		Surely, one of the aspects that held Bataille back from achieving the appreciation he deserved was the sexual explicitness of his writing—often published under pseudonyms.
		In both, Fulci's and Bataille's scenes, we have a setup that is mechanically dependent on the feminine gaze.

		Georges Bataille (1897-1962) was by profession a librarian at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.

		Perhaps Bataille's most famous text, Story of the Eye is a tale of obsessive sexuality involving rape, necrophilia, coprophilia, fetish objects (particularly eggs and eyeballs), and half a dozen other types of deviance.

		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 reason for such absence might be due to the complexity of the thought of Bataille and the voluminous nature of his writings.
		In the most literal sense, Bataille's writings are personal: the narrations (pornography, poems), philosophical discourses (Inner Experience, On Nietzsche) and interpretations (book review, art criticism) he put forward are originated from his intense desire to appropriate life's meaning/mystery.

		In the rest of this essay, I consider in more detail how Bataille's general economics seems to be always already implicated with the ideas it claims to question.
		Derrida, in particular, has read Bataille as suggesting that all classical philosophic systems must be considered restricted theoretical economies.
		I suggest that the theoretical coincidence on which Bataille insists--between the economic and the epistemological, between material and symbolic production--both makes possible the appropriation of general economics as an ideology of late capitalism and also points one toward a transcendence of that appropriation.
