The paper in this volume challenge the concept of form and aim to
set out, explore and develop different theories and examples of
'the formless'. In so doing, they raise questions of form, and
notions of formlessness (as distinct from something called 'the
formless'). The starting point for many of the contributors is
Georges Bataille's highly influential article entitled 'informe'
('formless'). Here, in a context where art, philosophy and
anthropology were merging, Bataille tried to question the idea of
formlessness as simply applying to things without form. This book,
through a diversity of articles in various domains, asks how and
why 'the formless' is such a dominant idea from the nineteenth
century onwards and it asks the question: 'what is formless?'
