Georges Bataille (1897 - 1962) was a philosopher, writer, and
literary critic whose work has had a significant impact across
disciplines as diverse as philosophy, sociology, economics, art
history and literary criticism, as well as influencing key figures
in post-modernist and post-structuralist philosophy such as Jacques
Derrida and Michel Foucault. In recent years, the number of works
published on Georges Bataille, as well as the variety of contexts
in which his work is invoked, has markedly increased. In Georges
Bataille: Key Concepts an international team of contributors
provide an accessible introduction to and survey of Bataille's
thought. The editors' introduction provides an overview of
Bataille's work, while the chapters in the first section cover the
social, political, artistic and philosophical contexts that shaped
his thought. In the second part, each chapter engages with a key
theme in Bataille's philosophy, including: art, eroticism, evil,
inner experience, heterology, religion, sacrifice, and sovereignty.
The final chapter addresses Bataille's literary writings. Georges
Bataille: Key Concepts is an invaluable guide for students from
across the Humanities and Social Sciences, coming to Bataille's
work for the first time. Contributors: Giulia Agostini, Elisabeth
Arnould-Bloomfield, Tiina Arppe, Marcus Coelen, Simonetta
Falasca-Zamponi, Patrick ffrench, Marina Galletti, Nadine Hartmann,
