Klossowski, l'incommunicable : lectures complices de Gide, Bataille et Nietzsche
No full textAny attempt to communicate the incommunicable arrives at a paradox. Because if language is general, the “depths of the soul” are unique, and only the experience lived in silence is authentic. To speak means to engage in the code of everyday signs; as for silence, as Sartre said, “it’s not being mute, it’s a refusal to speak, therefore it is still speaking.” Would it be possible to make a different use of language, a sovereign use, not subject to the norms of interaction – to find a language that would appear to say something but that would communicate nothing but the incommunicable? Drawing on numerous unpublished documents, Klossowski l’incommunicable. Lectures complices de Gide, Bataille et Nietzsche analyses how, by developing the simulacrum of a language or “pure media”, Klossowski managed to move beyond the prevarications of Gide, so hesitant to speak or remain silent about his “Uranianism”, and the wrath of Bataille or Sade, equating destruction and purity, to finally arrive at the Nietzschean innocence that creates gods

Acéphale e a hora presente
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta dissertação busca, a partir da leitura cruzada de dois periódicos extremamente díspares do imediato pré-segunda-guerra, o francês Acéphale, encabeçado por Georges Bataille e o brasileiro Cadernos da Hora Presente, dirigido por Tasso da Silveira, contribuir para a discussão sobre os impasses das vanguardas artísticas nesse período. Questiona-se aqui a proposta de uma "solução religiosa" para a (des)organização social - ponto comum entre as duas revistas - apontando-se as divergências entre o modo cefálico, sustentado pelos Cadernos, e o acéfalo. Constam também desse volume uma tradução, propositadamente polêmica, dos cinco números de Acéphale e o fichamento completo dos nove números dos Cadernos da Hora Present

Combustion and Society: A Fire-Centred History of Energy Use
No full textFire is a force that links everyday human activities to some of the most powerful energetic movements of the Earth. Drawing together the energy-centred social theory of Georges Bataille, the fire-centred environmental history of Stephen Pyne, and the work of a number of ‘pyrotechnology’ scholars, the paper proposes that the generalized study of combustion is a key to contextualizing human energetic practices within a broader ‘economy’ of terrestrial and cosmic energy flows. We examine the relatively recent turn towards fossil-fuelled ‘internal combustion’ in the light of a much longer human history of ‘broadcast’ burning of vegetation and of artisanal pyrotechnologies – the use of heat to transform diverse materials. A combustion-centred analysis, it is argued, brings human collective life into closer contact with the geochemical and geologic conditions of earthly existence, while also pointing to the significance of explorative, experimental and even playful dispositions towards energy and matter. © 2014, SAGE Publications.

Influence and infection : Georges Bataille and the fate of critique
No full textThe thesis argues for the pertinence of the Kantian 'topography' of the mental
faculties and the power of critical thought in assessing the philosophical
importance of Georges Bataille' s writing. Such an argument runs counter to
the received tradition of interpretation of Bataille's work, which has, given
the influence of Derrida, construed these texts as works of phenomenological
philosophy. The thesis shows that Derrida's interpretation must, by virtue
of its exclusivity, be incorrect. Bataille is concerned with the trajectory
of thought - that is with the dynamics or energetics of thought - rather than
with the articulation of the logic of representation, an articulation which
characterises phenomenological thinking. The thesis argues that Bataille's
concern with the energetics of thought represents an extension of Kant's
critical project. This relation is borne out by the new uses to which he puts
the Kantian terminology of continuity, transcendence, subjectivity and
communication. Rather than simply exaggerating the power of critique, which
Kant countenanced as an influence on the mental processes, Bataille dissolves
the critical difference and fuses the status of all thought with its energetic
and thermic trajectory. For Bataille, thought is associated with the free
contagions or infections of thermic communication. Thus Bataille's relation
to Kojeve and Hegel is -only part of a wider move in designating the energetic
nature of critique over and above its restricted and conceptual uses.
Critique does not survive this definition. The thesis shows the nature of the
critical project as it is articulated by Kant in the critiques of pure reason
and judgement and how Bataille's major concepts come to inhabit this terrain
whilst subjecting themselves and it to the dissolution which is the result of
the rational groundlessness of critique. Bataille's treatment of this
topography shows that it can be used to infer the attributes of a philosophy
of intensities and change
