Despite Georges Bataille's acknowledged influence on major
poststructuralist thinkers-including Foucault, Derrida, Kristeva,
Lacan, Baudrillard, and Barthes-and his prominence in literary,
cultural, and social theory, rarely has he been taken up by
scholars of religion, even as issues of the sacred were central to
his thinking. Bringing together established scholars and emerging
voices, Negative Ecstasies engages Bataille from the perspective of
religious studies and theology, forging links with feminist and
queer theory, economics, secularism, psychoanalysis, fat studies,
and ethics. As these essays demonstrate, Bataille's work bears
significance to contemporary questions in the academy and vital
issues in the world. We continue to ignore him at our peril.
