Georges Bataille's influence upon 20th-century philosophy is hard
to overstate. His writing has transfixed his readers for decades -
exerting a powerful influence upon Foucault, Blanchot and Derrida
amongst many others. Today, Bataille continues to be an important
reference for many of today's leading theorists such as Giorgio
Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy and Adrianna Caverero.
His work is a unique and enigmatic combination of mystical
phenomenology, politics, anthropology and economic theory -
sometimes adopting the form of literature, sometimes that of
ontology. This is the first book to take Bataille's ambitious and
unfinished Accursed Share project as its thematic guide, with
individual contributors isolating themes, concepts or sections from
within the three volumes and taking them in different directions.
Therefore, as well as providing readings of Bataille's key
concepts, such as animality, sovereignty, catastrophe and the
sacred, this collection aims to explore new terrain and new
theoretical problems.Georges Bataille and Contemporary Thought acts
simultaneously as a companion to Bataille's three-volume secular
theodicy and as a laboratory for new syntheses within his thought.
