Baumann, Roland. "Georges Bataille et le cinéma." Paris 10, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA100150.
Full textNowadays, philosophy which has become lost among other discourses, is in the midst of dissolution. Confronted with the impossibility of analyzing the totality of the technical world, it is swallowed up by unawareness. While in the process of vanishing, it can only show the conditions of its own impossibility. Despite this pessimistic vision of the future of philosophy, we haven't resorted in our study, to scale down such a multiple and dissimilar work, as that of Bataille - which would be an act short of any philosophic signification - into a collection of biographical facts. Cinema plays a decisive role in the life and thoughts of Bataille. It has profoundly influenced his work. Above ail, we want to show this role, and in particular The Inner Experience and other writings of the Somme (so called Atheologic), as well as in the principal Posthumous Literary Works

Full textThévenieau, Yves. "La question du recit dans l'oeuvre de georges bataille." Lyon 2, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986LYO20017.
Full textIn his 'sur nietzsche', georges bataille himself elaborates the idea of narrative as being that which comes to the rescue of reason; its manifestation in his work is all the more pregnant with meaning for being the child of necessity. Far from being merely one among other structures to be found in his work, narrative represents a most particular double-take breaking out in the very development of the text -text suddenly lodged in its own present moment by this necessitation which in turn is there by witnessed to and little by little revealed. Hence: "if sentences have any meaning, they have it by constellating that which was seeking to be. When they cry out freely, they die of their own brillance". This term 'narrative' (recit) comes naturally as being apt to describe seven texts (those fictions which the author published in his lifetime) characterised at once as fiction and by the presence of the narrator (recitant). In order of publication, these are 'histoire de l'oeil', 'madame edwarda', 'le petit', 'la scissiparite', 'l'abbe c. ', 'le bleu du ciel' and 'l'impossible'. We begin by showing, on the basis of these texts, how narrative manifests, gradually bringing out those signs whereby narrative writing can in general be identified. In this we are not involved in the giving of any personal 'reading': the idea of 'narrative' is neutral, underlining the way in which the text constitutes its own reading, or publication of a reading. Secondly, we demonstrate this 'narrative writing' working out from an example, 'le bleu du ciel'. Finally, we consider narrative from the point of view of textual heterogeneity- a key notion for bataille, and one to which the collection of his complete works has now given its full importance
Ichikawa, Takashi. "L'operation fictive et la conception du sujet chez georges bataille." Paris 7, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA070126.
Full textThis study deals with philosophical and literary themes. It considers, in particular, the subject's concept in the work of georges bataille, a french author, who was born in 1897 and died in 1962, and who wrote many texts about sociologicals, philosophicals and literary matters. In the first part, the thesis covers the philosophical and literary path of this author, wich leads him to collaborate, during the 20 s and the 30 s , with various writers groups to conceive his original materialism. The second part, sets the problems of the potential influence of the german philosopher martin heidegger on georges bataille, considering the similarities and the differences between the concept of heidegger's dasein, and the subject's concept in bataille. Finally, the thesis try to show that his subject's concept was built up by its close ties with the literary problems, especially, those wich concern the act of writing, being himself, at the same time, writer and a literary critic. In this context, the " fictional operation" allows the writer to affirm the singularity of his existence, if only as a precarious balance of multiple forces, and also to denounce the solipcistic illusion shunning alterity
Kanda, Koichi. "L'inscription de la mort chez Georges Bataille." Paris 7, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA070005.
Full textTo specify the notion of death in Bataille's works, to show the evolution of his idea on this topic and to examine the way in which the death is represented in his fictions, such are the aims of this thesis. The course of his philosophy about the death is divided into three stages. Before the Second World war, Bataille aspires to death that permits to deify the human being. However, when Bataille becomes aware of the idea of the impossibility of knowing what death is really like, the mimetic death is the only way to approach death while still living. The "mortal writing", being at the same time experience of the mimetic death and its transcription, occupies a crucial place in the thought of Bataille. His literary works are based on this "mortal writing". After the war, he systematizes his philosophy of the "not-knowledge" and writes a "Universal History". The death in the thoughts of Bataille, which means especially the experience of the loss of oneself, passes thus from the psychological drama to the philosophy of the "not-knowledge"
Lahouar, Fredj. "L'écriture du désir chez Georges Bataille." Rennes 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005REN20049.
Full textDesire is appraised by the modern poetic and philosophic discourse and it enables one to approach the unclassifiable works of Georges Bataille, in which it is the theme and the text's thoughtful logic at once. Unappeasable, excessive, violent and object-free desire is displayed through techniques of repetition, articulating the inevitability of contradiction and highlighting the heterological ambition of the author to unwrap concepts, disciplines and genres beyond their sphere. Equally a methodical option and a mode of knowledge, desire allows one to identify the act of writing with the Nietzschean category of the philosopher-artist and makes his literature a miscellanous one, producing a refractory text that transgresses the established normative codes where mingle scriptable with non-scriptable elements, such as the cry, silence, emptiness and secret. The notion of desire is at the heart of Bataille's poetic pre-requisite and is defined as the will to counteract the annulment that the systematic progression implies. Bataille equally juxtaposes the latter with the non-systematic answer that opens out the act of writing into the prospect of oblivion and sets the impossible as its ultimate end
Iwano, Takuji. "L’expérience et la divinité chez Georges Bataille." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040070.
Full textWhile undertaking a revolution of value in the philosophy, the theology, the literature and the economy (experience itself, new divinity, empirical truth, general economy), the thought of Georges Bataille remains in the tradition of the metaphysics on several aspects : nudity, origin, presence, phallocentrism, dualism, domination of the literature by the truth. But in his works we can read, beyond the intention of the author, what outwits and dislocates this tradition. It is possible to pursue the two in two main aspects : experience and divinity. As for the experience, one discovers the duplication of the inside and the outside, the interplay of the nudity and the truth, the play of difference and of repetition. As for the divinity, there is multiplication of duplication, the aporia of the dualism and the totality, the play of the death. All these are at the bottom of the tradition and they are irreducible to it, opening it to the outside for its alteration

Full textIs expenditure possible ? This was the question Georges Bataille encountered during the first years of the war, a question that would drive him to radically change the direction of his past reflections. After having admitted to the impossibility of expenditure, he turned in effect - thanks to Maurice Blanchot - from the " will to loss " to the " will to chance " and sought less to realize expenditure himself than to let it happen on its own. The strange writing of La Somme athéologique, should be understood in relation to this shift in perspective. In order to remain faithful to the " will to chance ", Bataille found himself simultaneously in front of the prohibition and the obligation to write, and therefore similar to the writer described by Blanchot in " De l'angoisse au langage ". The present dissertation, which puts into relief these " dramatic events " experienced by Bataille during World War II, attempts to analyze certain post-atheological and literary texts

Full textEvil in Georges Bataille’s novelistic work expresses itself in each component of the fictional universe. The characters’ bodies are plagued by filth, ugliness, diseases and death : the body’s text gives resonance. Their psychology is the victim of a deep malaise, of a suffocation to the bitter end of structured life. Revealing a will to embrace the Impossible while physical and psychological excrements, drunkenness, insanity, laughter and perversions are testifying to. We assist then to a work of destruction of all system governing (mutilating) the human existence (family, religion, ideologies). Space, setting of material and moral stain, of death and of decline joins to time, allegory of disorder, of night and of storm, favouring the installation of a devilish universe. The ambivalent existence of the woman is, finally, the personification of Evil against any idealistic representation

The objective of the present work is to determine the use and conception, as well as the relation with each other, of the terms Erotism and Religion in the writings of Georges Bataille, emphasising Erotism: Death and Sensuality, The Tears of Eros and Inner Experience, texts which concentrate the main dimensions of his oeuvre. In these, the author exposes the epistemological element of erotic experiences and their religious foundations. Bataille composes an encounter between religion and sexuality, a meeting that defies the action of human continuity and discontinuity, superseding and condemning the being. Thus, life and death meet by means of the discovery of erotism and religion, being erotism the inner life substance of humans, deeply identifying them with religious experiences. The adopted approach for the present work was approximative and problem-focused, intended to dare to discover the essential meaning of the bataillian erotica, reaching an understanding. With no pre-conceived rigour, a journey throughout his works is hereby proposed. We go from the theoretical influences that caused the meeting of the aforementioned concepts to a critical and geographical interpretation of the chosen body of documents, favouring the conceptual structure of Erotism and Religion and their correlated terms: interdiction, transgression, sacrifice, death, life, continuity and discontinuity. Finally, the central focus of this study is on the concepts of Erotism and Religion and their inter-relation within the experience of mystical ecstasy
O presente trabalho tem por finalidade determinar o emprego, a concepção e a relação dos termos Erotismo e Religião em Georges Bataille. Serão enfatizados os textos que concentram as principais dimensões de sua obra, a saber: O Erotismo, As Lágrimas de Eros e a Experiência Interior. Nesses, o autor expõe a dimensão epistemológica da experiência erótica e seu fundamento religioso. Bataille elabora um encontro entre a religião e a sexualidade, encontro esse que desafia o ato da continuidade e descontinuidade humana, superando o ser e condenando esse ser. Assim, vida e morte se encontram no desvendar do erotismo e da religião, sendo o erotismo a substância da vida interior do homem, identificando-o em profundidade com a experiência religiosa. A abordagem praticada na pesquisa foi problematizadora e aproximativa, cuja intenção foi descobrir o sentido essencial da erótica batailliana, produzindo-lhe uma compreensão. Sem um rigor pré-feito, foi proposto um caminhar pelas obras. Passou-se pelas influências teóricas que forjaram o encontro dos conceitos a uma leitura crítico-geográfica do corpo documental eleito, privilegiando a estrutura conceptual de Erotismo e Religião e seus correlatos: a interdição, a transgressão, o sacrifício, a morte, a vida, a continuidade e a descontinuidade. Por fim, a investigação teve como ponto central os conceitos de Erotismo e Religião e a inter-relação existente na experiência do êxtase místico
Cha, Jiyeon. "La trahison chez Georges Bataille : l'homme souverain et la littérature." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCC160/document.
Full textThis research aims to clarify the meaning of sovereignty and literature in the works of Georges Bataille by considering the usage of the French verb “trahir (betray)”. The word can mean “to be unfaithful to” and “to reveal what should be hidden” at the same time. In search of a new perspective which this ambivalent meaning can offer, this study approaches Bataille’s texts by examining the use of the words “trahir (betray)” or “trahison (betrayal)”. First, it is essential to discuss the definition of sovereignty and “summit moral,” also called “hypermorality” by the writer himself. The notion of sovereignty is closely linked to the question of truth which Bataille unceasingly poses. This is related to his own definition of humanity, the essence of which is composed of labor and knowledge in one part, play and art in the other. In this perspective, literature becomes to man the time and space for the realization of sovereignty, and the idea of transgression and the representations of nudity in Bataille’s texts demonstrate the essential role of literature in the life of the writer. Moreover, Bataille presents his reading of Nietzsche’s texts as an example of communication in literature. The last part of this study deals with the project Divinus Deus which was to include four fictional works — Madame Edwarda, Ma mère (My mother), Charlotte d’Ingerville, and Sainte (Santa) — and a theoretical essay “Paradox of eroticism”. Not only taking the pseudonym Pierre Angélique but also inventing the entire life of this debauched man, Bataille shows how sovereignty is incarnated in the writer himself

Full textTragic consists in appearing, in waking vision of flesh : explosive apparition. The foodlight flesh is an ejection of forces. Literature is the elaboration of this catastrophe that flings flesh in light, visceral in bright. With georges bataille we can see in corpse the pure aesthetic flesh's vision. But, in order to think the experience, it's necessary to practise an hyletic phenomenology that neutralize definitively world, being ego etc. So as to access the pure aisthesis. A radical epoche reveals the hyle as forces that constitute the gushin of experience
Girard, Mathilde. "Mise en demeure de la communauté : hétérologies politiques de Georges Bataille." Paris 8, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA083510.
Full textThe community is divided between its political construction and its tragic expressions. The community is also the milieu through which philosophy transfers its truths to the political field. Through a comparison of these propositions with Plato's and Aristotle's, this study, first, emphasizes the function of myth in the birth of political community, and the part played by tragedy which, through its representation of the city's memories of internal conflicts, obliges it to face them. Dyonisus, and the danger he carries with him from one city to another, is the deity – the repulsed deity – through which this study opens onto the genealogy of Bataillienne community. Following Bataille's experiences and interventions in different groups - journals, colleges, and secret societies – this study weaves together representations of man and of community, recalling Jean-Luc Nancy's and Maurice Blanchot's subsequent readings. Because he constituted a community to respond the rise of fascisms, and because he afterwards turned away from it to commit himself to inner experience, Bataille bore witness to the experience of the decline of community. If totalitarisms gave rise to forms of absolutization of the community, what is at stake here is an interrogation of the place of Bataille in these reflexions and an accounting for the importance of his thought and his experiences, which have been dismissed. The sovereign, erotic and sacred part running across community and going beyond it, is thus the part that is finally recalled to show the importance of sovereignty and non-knowledge in a political thought that Bataille put to the test confronting the events of his time
Baker, John. ""La faute d'écrire" : culpabilité, langage et écriture dans l'oeuvre de Georges Bataille." Paris 7, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA070143.
Full textThe main aim of this thesis is to establish the relationship between bataille's writing and the omnipresent themes of guilt and sin. While underlining the importance of guilt as a figure of writing we examine the relationship between morality and language. The introduction highlights the regressive aspects of bataille's thought as well as his vision of the universe and of mankind based on the expenditure of emergy. This oblique approach which concentrates on the base and the excessive, from the articles in the review documents onwards, is qualified as a black humanism. The first part examines the notion of sin in bataille's works and in particular refers to sur nietzsche and the discussion sur le peche. It is preceded by a "history" of the notion of sin and the role it plays in the judea-christian tradition, and by short studies devoted to authors as diverse as nietzsche, freud, hertz, ricoeur, and goldgerg, whose points of view on the question of guilt and sin enable us to insert bataille's discourse in a larger context. The second part is a reading of l'abbe c. (1950). By examining the modes of bataille's writing, and in particular the various forms of the image, the aim is to bring to the fore the obstruced and guilty movement of the writing, and to show that this novel is a syntehsis and the production, in the theatrical sense, of themes that have preoccupied bataille from the very start;. .

Full textThis dissertation analyzes the thinking of Georges Bataille with the objective to investigate in his intempestivity the conception of eroticism. The complex movement that the author wages to develop this concept allows new possibilities to approach the nature/culture border, as well as animality and humanity concepts. In the introdution of The Eroctism the author announces to be in search of the Man in its totality, turning himself against the fragmentaries lines to pursuit the idea of a whole. This pursuance will be given by human passion and its only object, that implies in a tour upon the human spirit and its inner life. In the innerness of the being there is the encounter with the most overwhelming experiences, with the holy, the beauty, the horror and the passion. In the Baitaille's proposition there isn't borders between man and animal, mind and body, life and death; these instances constantly overflows one another and is in this intempestive movement that he sees the totality of the being. In this complex and unexpected field of human inner life, the being oversteps the limitrophes of the objective conscience into disconcerting experiences in which the conscience dissolves itself in the corporeal. The intent of this work it's to comprehend the totality that the batailliam thought seeks to reach in the inner experience consception by the means of problematization of the notions of eroctism, animality and humanity
Esta dissertação analisa o pensamento de Georges Bataille com o objetivo de investigar em sua intempestividade a concepção de erotismo. O complexo movimento que o autor trava ao desenvolver esse conceito permite novas possibilidades para abordar a fronteira natureza/cultura, assim como os conceitos de animalidade e humanidade. Na introdução de O Erotismo o autor anuncia estar à procura do homem em sua totalidade, volta-se contra as linhas fragmentárias para perseguir a ideia de conjunto. Essa busca se dá pela paixão humana e seu único objeto, que implica num passeio sobre o espírito humano e sua vida interior. Na interioridade do ser há o encontro com as experiências mais avassaladoras, com o sagrado, a beleza, o horror e a paixão. Na proposta de Bataille não há fronteiras entre homem e animal, mente e corpo, vida e morte; estas instâncias constantemente transbordam uma na outra e é neste movimento intempestivo que vê a totalidade do ser. Neste campo complexo e imprevisto da vida interior humana, o ser ultrapassa os limítrofes da consciência objetiva para experiências desconcertantes em que a consciência se dissolve no corpóreo. O intuito do trabalho é compreender a totalidade que o pensamento batailliano busca atingir na concepção de experiência interior por meio da problematização das noções de erotismo, animalidade e humanidade
Vajzer, Tatʹâna. "La communauté éthique : Georges Bataille et Jürgen Habermas." Paris 7, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA070068.
Full textThe dissertation is devoted to the community ethics in the project of the "negative community" of the French philosopher Georges Bataille and in the project of the "positive community" of the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. More accurately, I will consider Bataille's project of an asocial and intellectual (imaginary) community in the light of Habermas' rationalist criticism proposing another ethical model of the positive community in the contemporary democratic State. The two philosophers are absolutely different, almost not-comparable, but it seems to me all the more interesting to ask them the same questions on the notions of community, communication, common etc. This polemics in absentia, being hardly known today, touches for ail that the extremely painful moments of the post-traumatic European conscience during and after the Second World War and namely: community ethics, authority, the Absolute in the structure of social action, moral conscience, communicative action, radical Otherness, the limits of the (transcendental, post-metaphysical) Other as well as of the (social) others and so on. Thus, the two conceptions have the same goal: to prevent a new totalitarianism in Europe and to return into the European culture the effaced voice of the Other. However, they are opposite to one another in a radical way in the means of the realisation of their projects as well as in the presupposition of their reasoning
Feyel, Juliette. "David Herbert Lawrence et Georges Bataille, l'érotisme et le sacré." Thesis, Paris 10, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA100111.
Full textThe thesis demonstrates that David Herbert Lawrence and Georges Bataille shared the same philosophical heritage. They drew inspiration from the theories of German Romanticism and Nietzsche. Therefore, they searched for the sacred in the life of the body and in a Dionysic ecstatic experience. They wanted collective turmoil without immanentism, a revolution which wouldn’t be jeopardised by the rise of a fascist dictator. However, their political attempts did not succeed. They realised then that sacredness was only to be reached through literary creation. Both writers thought that erotic ecstasis could lead to a sacred experience. Erotic jouissance amounts to a “little death” in which the ego is lost while the individual’s limits disappear. Yet, the two writers most differentiate themselves with regard to the literary devices they use in order to depict such an experience

Partindo do exame de alguns dos mais importantes textos que compõem o escopo filosófico-literário do pensamento de Georges Bataille, destacaremos o fato de que, assimilada a herança de Sade, de Nietzsche e de Freud, Bataille fez de seu projeto estético-filosófico uma via de acesso ao deslimite, via que conduz à paradoxal experiência do impossível. Ao longo da primeira parte de nosso trabalho, dedicada integralmente a Bataille, enfatizaremos que o pensamento batailliano, consagrado ao impossível, aponta para a possibilidade de uma experiência com a vida a se realizar fora do campo das injunções morais, na intensidade própria à convulsão e à vertigem. Na segunda parte desta tese, estabelecidas as conseqüências da submissão de um corpo vivo ao regime de linguagem, rastrearemos, em Freud e em Lacan, as alternativas possíveis para lidar com o mal-estar na civilização. Ao final, depois de examinar as mutações do gozo no pensamento lacaniano, demonstraremos que a relativa viabilidade de Georges Bataille ressalta uma dimensão indispensável à compreensão do saber-fazer lacaniano, a identificação a um modo de gozo singular. Tal como veremos, tal identificação compareceria em decorrência da transcriação do nome próprio: artifício por meio do qual um sujeito qualquer não apenas renuncia aos ideais que o suportam, como trata de enxertar, na carne do Outro, aquilo que nele há de mais heterogêneo, a mais heteróclita das paixões. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
Starting from an examination of some of the most important texts that compose the scope of the philosophical and literary thought of Georges Bataille, we will emphasizes the fact that, assimilated the legacy of Sade, Nietzsche and Freud, Bataille made his aesthetic-philosophical project one route that leads to the paradoxical experience of the impossible. Throughout the first part of our work, fully dedicated to Bataille, we emphasize that the bataillian thought points out to the possibility of an experience with life to be held outside the field of the moral injunctions. In the second part of this thesis, we will track out in Freud and Lacan, possible alternatives to deal with the malaise in civilization. At the end, we will demonstrate that the relative viability of Georges Bataille enphasizes a vital dimension to the understanding of the lacanian savoir-faire: the identification to a singular mode of enjoyment. As we shall see, this identification takes place as a result of the own name re-writing: the artifact through the means the subject can graft on the flesh of the Other the most singular kind of passion.

Full textGeorges bataille's entire works are haunted by the presence of art and especially by painting and plastic arts, which are linked to obsessions of eroticism, death, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacred, sovereignty. From articles of documents (1929-1930) to larmes d'eros (1961), bataille gives an unsublimate reading of art and culture, opening out anthropological views, confronting aesthetics and reality, history of art and experience, in this global vision, art seems to be the incarnation and the play of the "un-knowledge" : above all, this "part of art" reveals the intensity of desire and cruelty under cover of form and discourse ; it opens one's eyes and escapes, as eroticism, to profane's world limits, to the control of meaning and knowledge
Hosogai, Kenji. "Georges Bataille ou la totalité en excès : l'accord impossible entre le fini et l'infini." Paris 8, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA082131.
Full textHow can we view the status of totality through Bataille's work, beyond the challenge proposed to the very concept ? In recognizing the fundamental "will of being whole" in every individual, Bataille attempts to satisfy this will by connecting the specific and the totality in the positivity of the finitude of the individual. Thus, Bataille's focus consists of reintegrating into totality the status of the individual, the finite, meaning that totality can only exist as an experience of the specific. For Bataille, totality asserts its specificity in order to "exceed itself" continuously; it never reaches completion, but is devoted to the excess of what is lacking, a lack which deepens the more completion is sought; it is the sum of attempts at excess : totality in excess. From this point, this essay attempts to offer an interpretation to enlightening the difficulties that Bataillan theory meets or creates

Full textIn 1934, Bataille and Benjamin met in the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris. Their writings from the period of 1929 to 1939 show how their thoughts responded to the constraints and the impulses of their present time, its conflicts and its inventiveness in arts and politics. Three events have structured our dissertation: the publication of the novel Man’s Fate (La Condition humaine) by Malraux; their proximity to surrealism as an experience of illumination or intoxication with the image; the confrontation with fascism, as a political force to be fought against, but also as a form of thinking and sensibility that should be understood in order to be vanquished. Both Bataille and Benjamin claimed that their intellectual attitudes belonged to materialism, sharing this crucial postulate: they place a high importance upon images, how they affect bodies, acting within them, that cannot be evinced from conceptual thinking and political action. Both thinkers play out a materialist reconfiguration of surrealist experience. This enables us to envisage a prism of a surrealist materialism, as an intersection between their respective insights. Furthermore, by studying both authors attempt to think fascism, this work reveals a sharp divergence between bataillien heterology and the benjaminien concept of the aestheticisation of politics. Both these conceptual devices show how the fascist imaginary is rooted in the imperialist structure of capitalism; Benjamin allows us to grasp the specificity of the crucial theoretical operation that fascism feeds upon, while Bataille’s heterological prism opens the way to the core of what, in fascism, constituted a force of collective attraction

Full textThis paper sets out comparisons, differences and affinities between the works by Catherine Breillat, the movie maker, and by Georges Bataille, the philosopher. As authors who were born in different times and engaged themselves in different areas of knowledge, Breillat s thoughts are expressed through motion picture and those of Bataille in the form of writing. This is the reason why the dialogue implied in this paper has a thematic background. The privilege of both authors´ erotic view is used here as the central axis, starting from Bataille s idea that the sense of eroticism is the fusion, the suppression of limits. However, though both see the union of the bodies as corresponding to a violation of the identities, the presence of the female character in Breillat s films permeates such conception with a certain rare complexity concerning gender and love. The analysis of such particulars opens up the possibility of marking out not only strong points in common, but also significant distinctions between the two eroticisms
Cotejar as obras da cineasta Catherine Breillat e do filósofo Georges Bataille é o objetivo deste trabalho. Sendo autores nascidos em épocas diferentes, e alocados em distintas áreas do conhecimento, o pensamento de Breillat se apresenta na forma de filme e o de Bataille na da escrita. Por tal razão, o diálogo que aqui se propõe é de fundo temático. Toma-se como eixo central o privilégio da visada erótica nos dois autores, partindo da concepção batailliana de que o sentido do erotismo é a fusão, a supressão dos limites . Porém, ainda que para ambos a união dos corpos corresponda à violação das identidades, a presença do personagem feminino nos filmes de Breillat faz essa concepção ser atravessada por uma problemática rara do gênero e do amor. O exame de tais particularidades permite circunscrever pontos de contato intensos, mas também distinções significativas entre as duas eróticas

Full textThis thesis proposes a way of reading the work of Georges Bataille through dovetailing the notion of voice with that of listening. The goal is to delve into his text in order to understand the possibilities of recognizing in his work a Bataille’s subject. For this reason, closer attention is paid here to writings classified as literary, such as Romans et écrits from the Pléiade edition.In the first chapter, I present certain theoretical points on which hinge my comments regarding voice and listening. I use key notions from Saussure, Benveniste and Meschonnic. The theory of voice and listening comes from analyzing Bataille’s text. In the second chapter, I pay closer attention to the novels Ma mère, Le Bleu du ciel and L’Abbé C. Beginning with an analysis of these three texts, I explore notably the role of prosody in Bataille’s work, the importance of agonal writing that focuses on the specificity of the contrasting conjunction “mais”, and finally on the disjunctive and regulating force of the flow of what is spoken of adverbs ending in ‘-ment’ in the author’s work.In the third chapter, I translate the work La Scissiparité into Brazilian Portuguese with two goals in mind : to write a text in another language starting from Bataille’s work, and to delve objectively into his text and afterwards reflect on the text in Portuguese.In the fourth and last chapter, I analyze certain readings of Bataille, notably that of Roland Barthes and Philippe Sollers. Moreover, Bataille as a reader of William Blake is also integrated here. I also study the way of listening to the voice of Lascaux according to Bataille

Full textGeorges Bataille’s writing gravitates towards, what he calls, the ‘inner’ experience, an experience in which discourse breaks down. Thus, the language, generally denounced, leads to a paradox as long as it remains the language used to ‘speak the unspeakable’. This aporia compels Bataille to devise original writing strategies that are embodied in two methods—dramatization and the ‘slippery word’ (le mot glissant). Considering this, our study clarifies his linguistic strategies (or ‘minor’ writing) to reach his ‘experience of language’, which consists of two opposite movements: the emergence of language and the return to the unspeakable. To this end, our corpus is based on La Maison brûlée, Le Petit, Le Mort and La Tombe de Louis XXX, texts which are still little-known. In Bataille’s work, the term ‘dramatization’ refers to a specific procedure of contemplation and to the drama; fiction participates in both. In particular, the avant-texte of La Maison brûlée, an abandoned movie script, includes techniques for the onscreen projection of images of falling that use both characters and ‘base material’ (matière basse). The second method, the slippery word, is exemplified by the term ‘silence’, which is pronounced only to announce its own death. This movement of the slippery word can be observed in Le Petit, with its fragmentary style or punctuation marks. Moreover, as analysed, the slipping motion turns out to be intrinsic to the present tense, as observed in Le Mort et La Tombe de Louis XXX. Bataille’s writings depict the present moment, crystallizing the passage from the discourse to the unspeakable

Full textThis study, concerned with the thinking of Bataille and Nietzsche on the subject of what we will describe for now as the philosophy of the limit, is made up of five chapters : first chapter. The demand for the absence of work second chapter. The project of the limit third chapter. The transgression game forth chapter. The communication by and through appearance fifth chapter. The beginning of parody and tragedy the philosophy of the limit is characterized by the free assertion it carries within itself of its own ultimate consequences. Our intent is to study the meaning and extent of this assertion using as our starting point the general principle that introduces with one stroke the problems of "the will of chance", "the inversion of all values", "the eternal return of the same": the limit is a term that is not a term

Full textThe objective of this study entitled "Passage(s) between the formless and the neutral : George Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, the art contemporary" is to analyze the passage between the formless and the neutral in the art contemporary, as well as in Bataille's thinking and Blanchot's thinking or in Bataille's writings and Blanchot's writings. It is based, first of all, on the exhibition "Formless: A User's Guide" in 1996 which refer to Bataille's thinking, particularly to the article "Formless" that Bataille published in "Documents" in 1929, on the other exhibition "Intense Neutral" in 2008 which refer to Barthes's lecture on the neutral in 1977-1978. But, in this lecture, Barthes was based on Blanchot's neutral. From these references, this work approaches the movement toward the infinity, that is to say toward what is lower than the lowest or toward what is othermore than the other. This movement "more. . . Than. . . " is related to the difference without the relation of the opposition between the baseness and the elevation, between the horizontal and the vertical, between the exterior and the interior. This work intends to show this movement in the seven chapters : "End of God", "Meat", "Mother", "Anyone", "Excentric", "Invisible labyrinth" and "Boiler with the fireplace"

Full textThe thesis examines bataille's singular position among the thinkers of the modernity. It begins by calling up the spirit of the 1930s : the confusion of political identities, the destruction of intellectual references and the mixing of rebellion and resignation which characterizes the pre-war period. Nietzsche's figure associated with the success of kojeve's lectures on hegel seems emblematic of this period. Bataille's thought matures in this context marked in depth by the topic of the end of history. The politics of the impossible considers in a way the paradox of a will of acting which knows to be unable of ending. Firstly the call upon revolution, ther the research of the conditions of community, finally the internal experiment and its writing compose the modalities of this politics objecting to seated powers the part of subversion which radically contests them and that bataille names the "impossible", ie. What manifests the "un-power". The sovereignty designates the insubordination that the end od history requires. The thesis describes bataille's critic of the most achieved attempt to eliminate the impossible, ie. : the hegelian system and its "will of being the whole". It follows the outlines of his debate with the dogmatic marxists and it comments upon the terms of his analysis of fascism. It applies to the model of criticism in order to elucidate the philosophical and political scope of communication that he tirelessly requests. And it finally underlines the subversive part devolved upon a writing which paradoxally intends to be idle

Full textGeorges Bataille (1897-1962) did not write on Jean Genet (1910-1986) more than two articles, published respectively in 1949 and 1952. Only the second one went down to posterity, since it also figures in an important essay called Literature and Evil (1957). The terms of Bataille's second critique are irrevocably clear-cut : Genet's work is a " failure ". They contrast with the positive reception Genet had got on the occasion of Bataille's first article. Our research aims at explaining the reasons of such an about-turn. Is it just a consequence of Jean-Paul Sartre's masterful preface, Saint Genet, Comedian and Martyr, written for Genet's Complete Works ? The question should be answered with an exhaustive analysis of Sartre and Bataille's conflictual relationship since 1943. Is it rather a matter of some deeper rejection, or some kind of affect, whose a close examination of Bataille's text should be able to reveal the main symptoms ? This work tries to put both critical systems in their intellectual context : for Bataille, a comprehensive approach, based on the key notion of " communication ", for Sartre, a phenomenological approach, illustrated by the notion of " commerce " (dealings). It also tries to identify the nature of Bataille's fierce and unforeseen resistance. However, what we call " communication without exchange " does not refer to the complex relationship between Bataille and Sartre, it designates the way the poet Jean Genet came to express his own conception of poetical communication, as he probably was weary of quarrels he had given rise to : in the 1960's indeed, he often claimed that a work of art should be offered to " the vast people of the dead "
Lagana, Fabrice. "La chance dans l’œuvre de Georges Bataille." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040065.
Full textThe notion of chance is similar to fortuity, but it is a critical concept, taking into accountthe death of God, thought by Nietzsche. It reverses values and representations. Fleeting,elusive, it refutes all the logic of labour and of action. It is accomplished in the moment. It leadsto a new ontology and a new morality, that of playing. Chance is an opportunity and a risk. Itappears as a demand, that of exceeding the limits of the given, and as a hazard, that of gettinglost in the night of ignorance. It takes shape in the 1930s in a context of war more and morethreatening. It is often expressed in the philosophy of Nietzsche that Bataille uses as a weaponagainst the Hegelian system. It appears as the residue or waste of only rational doctrines andpresents itself as a sensitive experience, rooted in the life of Bataille. It is a movement of excessleading the thinking process to excess. However, in the modern world, the extreme states havingno purpose (such as the atonement and salvation) and direct action having replaced sacrifice,art alone collects them. Bataille therefore transposes his research in an encounteredfragmentary writing that contravenes all standards of literature. He combines the forms and typesto showcase diversity, intensity and anxiety which characterise this experience. He invents atype of writing that never stops challenging itself to highlight the lack of certainty in a world whereall is unstable, threatened with extinction
Bisse, Oyono Léonie Clara. "Transgression et sublime dans les œuvres narratives de Georges Bataille et de Jean Genet." Toulouse 2, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008TOU20064.
Full textThe work of Georges Bataille shares several common themes with Genet’s. In 2008, the name of these authors still frightens some people, such is the extent to which they have become synonymous with scandalous litterature and provocation. Both writers indeed tried to shock their readers by their coarse and straight language, as much as by their sulfurous and provocative subjects. Several of their texts were published clandestinely and a lot of time elapsed before they became accessible to a more genral public. Bataille and Genet are also united by their will to subvert standard litterature in ridding themselves of common morality. Their atypical books challenges all the limits, and Bataille as much as Genet is not afraid of excess. Death, sex, and violence fill their books, as many pages of Ma mère, Histoire de l’œil, Journal du voleur or Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs certify. Both of them glorify the body, in even its most trivial manifestations, and they like to speak frankly about what is usually hidden and concealed : incest, rape, dirt, excrement… But these writers are not vulgar pornographs, as theirs disparagers tend to say. On the contrary, they develop an original and personal ethic which can be linked with the notion of sublime that the Treatise attributed to Longin defined. Besides, their stylistic technique shows their high esthetic ambitions. Bataille’s language, like Genet’s, is the fruit of a formal elaboration which makes their reading fascinating, but also sometimes hard. The general public and researcher’s increasing attention to their books over the last twenty or thirty years shows the importance of Bataille and Genet in the literature of the twentieth century

Full textHYPOTHESIS: The literary works of Bataille and Klossowski have multiple convergences but also differences. We seek to place them in parallel in order to determine how their fiction work unfolds as a sovereign art, beyond all meaning, and as an artistic expression of the forces of the naked life and the eternal return concept of Nietzsche. OBJECTIVES: 1. To establish which lines of thought of Bataille and Klossowski are developed inside their literature work and its relation to the notion of the eternal return 2. To show how different meanings of the Dionysus symbol are deployed along their literature. 3. To show the literature of Batai I le and Klossowski as a succession of images that express intensities and decoded forces THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: The central theoretical dereference for the analysis is the philosophy work of Bataille and Klossowski, in close relationship with Friedrich Nietzsche work. We refers as well to the notion (developed by us) call "The image in fire", conceptualization that is enriched by the work of Deleuze, Derrida, Badiou, Blanchot and Quignard. Additionally we use a variety of authors to show all aspects of the Dionysus symbol. METHODOLOGY: Our analysis is made based on four perspectives: the philosophy work of Bataille and KIossowski, Nietzsche's eternal return notion, Dionysus symbol and "The imagen in fire" notion. We boarded the literary work of Bataille and Klossowski through various notions, but fundamentally we analyze their stories as a series of images (in insisting repetition of the difference) that create a theater of intensities. CONCLUSION : The works of Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski are configured as parallel (as a display of art that have convergences but also that creates infinite number of divergences in a labyrinthine sense). Differences displaying images that rise as an expression of the forces of life, while these images are consumed in a brilliant expression of a sovereign art: gesture that manifests itself as a theater where the affirmation of life and the instant eternally wanted occur.

Full textIndividual wishes change over times, they’re connected with a specific historical setting.With the two world wars, the XXth century transforms the vibes. It conducts to a changement of the course of action. Sin and transgression are the conflictual elements that transform reality.Georges Bataille is the figurehead of this changing reality. This multiple-writer presents a philosophy questioning limits and their legitimacy. The person is the subject searching to define an unlimited world, thanks to a metaphysic and phenomenological dimension.Georges Bataille is looking to push out the limits: he deals with morality, rules and laws until he announces a saving of expenditure. All of these ambitious projects are gathered in twelve volumes. These books generate some interest for literature specialist, or curious people.Nowadays, philosophers and sociologists talk about the resurgence of the limits caused by the change of attitudes. We will explore these questions using Georges Bataille, his lectors and the influence of thoughts as support. We’re wondering if we could even transgress limits
Apicella, Nicola. "Georges Bataille et Alexandre Kojève : la blessure de l’Histoire." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEH153.
Full textThis thesis proposes to genealogically question the formative power that Hegel's philosophy ex-erted on Georges Bataille's thought. From the end of the 1920s, the system of Absolute Knowledge constantly nourished the work of this intellectual who is often described, too hastily, as anti-systematic, and for whom the decisive meeting of Alexandre Kojeve, one of Hegel's first exegetes in France, played an exceptional role in redefining the limits and the stakes of discursive knowledge when confronted with the sovereignty of "non-knowing". Nevertheless, this operation was not line-ar: from the time of the review Documents and until his death, Bataille calibrated his Hegelianism (or anti-Hegelianism) very differently depending on the intellectual circumstances, by reacting first to the suggestions of surrealism, then to the impulse of new "bourgeois" doctrines such as psychoanal-ysis and sociology, and finally to the teaching of Alexandre Kojève. We therefore have at least three critical trajectories that cross and disrupt the Hegelian doctrine, which will emerge gradually as re-jected, then recovered with reservations and finally reworked in an original way. Three stages that show a Bataille capable of integrating into his thinking some discursive models that do not diminish its power but which, on the contrary, emerge enriched by a new impetus that removes any schema-tism from them towards a more fluid structure that shakes up their cardinal points. In this work of intellectual history, it has therefore been necessary to adopt a diachronic rather than a synchronic approach. The secondary literature that has focused on the contribution of Hegel's philosophy to Bataillian thought has often made the mistake of bringing together texts that are far removed in time in order to derive analogies and convergences that, with the aim of elucidating a certain inter-nal coherence to this thought itself, trivialize all its asperities and "wrong turns". What stands out is the idea that there is a block "Hegel-Bataille" or "Kojeve-Bataille" more or less well defined and dif-ficult to question. The weakness of this approach cannot be more blatant: not taking into considera-tion the very rich articulation of the issues that these pairs put in place at different times, marked by requirements that cannot always be staked, it paralyzes an intellectual relationship that was made and undone over the course of about twenty years. Thus, we try to follow the structural evolution of a posture, Bataille’s one, which makes of fluidity and hesitation its argumentative style. For this reason, we relied more on his texts, published and unpublished, than on the secondary references, seeking to limit cross readings and anachronisms to understand why, in 1950, Bataille confessed be-ing an "Hegelian by training" (de « formation hégélienne ») – a confession coming from someone who since 1929 had sided with the formless (informe) – and why Kojève will show him a growing respect and intellectual proximity

A dissertação em questão vai trabalhar dentro de uma leitura da obra de Georges Bataille, História do olho. Observando o complexo e importante pensamento a respeito do olho, no qual Bataille trata seus ensaios fundacionais, seguimos para uma investigação tanto da estrutura da obra literária e sua importância, quanto da sua incidência na teoria filosófica do autor. Somado ao frenesi de toda forma de vida na Terra, o olho está diretamente ligado ao erotismo, ao sexo e ao gozo. A partir da glândula pineal, observamos a importância do objeto ocular para Bataille. Em seu texto literário, observamos a estrutura complexa entre metáfora e metonímia que regem tanto a condensação quanto o deslocamento dos movimentos em uma presença e ausência do olho. Partindo da ideia da importância da estrutura da História do olho, não pudemos nos furtar de investigar a ausência da assinatura Georges Bataille na obra, uma aporia do nome.
The present dissertation is going to work inside a reading of Georges Bataille’s literary work, Story of the Eye. Observing the complex and important thought about the eye, in which Bataille treats his foundational essays, we move on to an investigation of the literary work’s structure and its importance, as well as its incidence in the author’s philosophical theory. Added to the frenesi of all forms of life on Earth, the eye is directly connected to eroticism, sex and orgasm. From the pineal gland, we observe the ocular object’s importance to Bataille. In his literary text, we observe the complex structure between metaphor and metonymy that rules the condensation as well as the movement’s dislocation in one presence and the absence of the eye. Starting from the idea of the structure’s importance in Story of the Eye, we couldn’t deny investigating the absence of the signature Georges Bataille in the work, an aporia of the name.

Full textPublished between 1929 and 1931, the journal "Documents" was a short-lived experiment, with contributions from the editor himself, Georges Bataille. Along with Carl Einstein and Michel Leiris, among others, Georges Bataille used this "ethno-esthetic" publication as a vehicle for his crusade against received ideas. The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed analysis of the iconography used by the author to illustrate his texts. A comparison between "Documents" and the other contemporary journals [ "Bifur", "Jazz", "La Révolution Surréaliste", "Le Grand Jeu", "L'Illustration". . . ] serves to identify Bataille's literary friends and foes. It shows that "Documents", a mixture of autobiographical and social writing, was Bataille's main tribune in his feud against another branch of the avant-garde, Surrealism

Full textAll which counts for Giacometti it is the "resemblance". This "resemblance" is for him neither definable nor "completed". It’s just "a mass" which is visible only directly extremely tightened by the stake in continual movements, alternating and inquiring, from the shape to the shape, from the "being" to the "non-being", of the "known" to the "stranger". It dedicates itself to the defect and to the failure. In this respect, this "resemblance" is essentially bound in the "formless" of Bataille. Our study consists of this link, original, historic and aesthetic, between this "resemblance" and this "formless". However, our study is not of a comparative study: it is rather a research to dread better this "resemblance" thanks to this "formless". It limits itself to the period from 1927 till 1947: a period from the days when Giacometti discovers the sign of the "formless" of Bataille, until the time when the artist illustrates Story of rats of the writer and realizes The Nose realizing magnificently the lightning moment of the truth which becomes confused with the failure and the defect

Full textWe can utterly assert that the aim of our analysis has lead, throughout the balancing/ a balancement of aphilosophical hermeneutic and a literature analysis, to the delineation of an informal subjectivity in GeorgesBataille’s thought. Afore the achievement of our theoretical demonstration, we will be glad to onset a briefparenthesis over the first commenters who had set a debate over the Formless, to enhance, thanks to them, ourassumption. Commencing from the work Documents (1929/30), reprinted by the will of Dennis Hollier in 1995.we will understand why its main analysis2 have secluded the debate into the esthetical- figurative corner,effectively closing the debate to other possible postulations. In this perspective, the formless has lost itssubversive tendencies to gain/obtain the pityfull status of «museal knick knack» implied into the artisticaldomain. Afterward having drafted the meaning of formeless by new, and given to it a contemporary perspective,we could start to settle a confrontantion with his philosophical roots: Nietzsche and Hegel. It is only due to theparallel with them both and to the overhaul of their theories, which we could assert that Bataille has in a wayreached the true meaning of formeless. The same formeless that is deeply rooted in his erotical novels. It is alsothrough these passages that we could understand the real meaning of parody in the bataillean sense, that is is aninversion of the moral values that the author has applied as a souverain and deforming lecture of his works. Themanicheism that the autor recour to use to divise the whole reality into two exact parts of positive andnegative,will be a peculiar aspect that leads to the comprehension of his entire work. This disorder wil beprocured, by the inversion of the moral values which are divided into an “high” and a “low”, and as consequent,the higher polarity will be related to the a positive value, and the low, to its tcontrary. Their upheaval willproduse an ethical swap of their positions, in a second stance this will lead to a real deformation of every kind ofpreassumption in his novels and of course in the characters, a rupture taken against every kind of normalizationor reduction to the norms. In the last part of our research, before going through the application the formlesstheory, we will briefly argumentate about the major inversion that had prevailed upon our author, obliging him totake the distance from the Bildungsroman and to oppose to it a Verbildungsroman. Only after conceived theglobal valorial inversion, we will arrive to this “Game of polarities”m which will lead to the constitution of ainformal character. Starting from there, effectively, we eill see that the character will become a formless thatmanifest itself thanks to the narration, the same invisible and terrifing subjectivity that we have already met inthe first part of our work. Consacrating ourselves to the Bataille’s works, will signify, not only trying tounderstand the character born under a formless will, but even also- how this formless could be gained far distantfrom the mores applayed into the university. Our demonstration, will be constructed to have a new eye: theformless will be conceived to be à “becoming” that can’t be, that is aphone and unpronounceable, but so forth, itis a right alternative to the “Deleuzian’s becoming”, to the Z.O.O and of the subjects that are trying to force areconfiguration of an autonomous space, of the fluid sexualities: and is for these reasons that we evinct that theformless needs a new recalibration, far from the aesthetical intuitions, in need to re-orienting itself to a newdialogical horizon, and to put itself to the extreme sens of a destructive immanence

Full textBataille, blanchot and duras : they are obsessed by death, not only a sick, political death, but also a sacred death, that the christian, bourgeois - and colonial - civilization endeavors to forget, in the heart of sacrifice, erotism or agony. To legitimate such an obsession. By its recognition through a theoretical universal or its translation into narrative formulas, has been their first ambition. Death, being always beyond the reach of experience, allows to legitimate only the invention of narrative praxes leading to the heteros : that is the archaic semiotic networks at work through the aesthetics of the novel. In such a process death appears originally as the foundation, the formation and the repetition element of the imagery ; the conversion of anxiety into pleasure collapses ; the pre-objectality of a terrifying relationship to the mother stands out; the specular stabilization of the abject falls into pieces ; a non-cathartic anxiety, that onlythe recognition of the praxis of the sacred can "turn into delight", passes on to the reader : a policy of a reading open on to the community. This protean power of fragmentation of the writing appears to bataille, blanchot and duras as an ethic necessity. Their meetings, their reciprocal esteem and their friendship rest upon their ethic view of the aesthetic "disaster"

Full textThe "College of sociology" (1937-1939) was led by Roger Caillois and Georges Bataille. In the last conference Bataille dealt with the "sociological sphinx" whose question was not the type of question you can answer, but aims to make a question appear in the very person to be confronted with. That this infinite question is the unattainable question which lies throughout bataille's work until his death, is the point of this thesis. But in order to have a great understanding of this unattainable point, one has to re-walk the whole path the "College of sociology" was walking. Since the corpus of the activities of this group is very complex at a first glance, this thesis has attempted to clarify their coherence, mainly by making clear the essential unifying part played by myth, in such a way that it has led georges bataille from the desire of answering the french social crisis cropped up through the "munich accords" and the literary crisis which grew subsequently because of the power lessness of literature to answer this social crisis, to the more abstract mythical figure of the "sociological sphinx", whose purpose was no longer to answer a crisis but to perpetuate the question this crisis was pregnant of. The colloquial meetings of the "socratical college" in 1942-43 strengthened both Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot in this infinite interrogation
