Para leer a Georges Bataille

by Georges Bataille, Glenn Gallardo (Translator), Phillip Ollé-Laprune (Contributor)

Antología que ofrece textos esenciales (y poco conocidos en español) para la comprensión de la obra de Bataille y de su pensamiento en torno al misticismo, a la vez que permite una aproximación al pensador francés que no sólo muestra la brutal libertad con que transgredía cualquier canon sino que proporciona un entendimiento claro de la transformación filosófica que dio lugar al "neoestructuralismo".

About the author

French essayist, philosophical theorist, and novelist, often called the "metaphysician of evil." Bataille was interested in sex, death, degradation, and the power and potential of the obscene. He rejected traditional literature and considered that the ultimate aim of all intellectual, artistic, or religious activity should be the annihilation of the rational individual in a violent, transcendental act of communion. Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva, and Philippe Sollers have all written enthusiastically about his work.
