Story
In this important work, Georges Bataille uses his novel economic theory as the basis for an incisive inquiry into the very nature of civilization. He introduces here his concept of the accursed share, the surplus energy that any system, natural or cultural, must expend; it is this expenditure, according to Bataille, that most clearly defines a society. His examples include sacrifice among the Aztecs, potlatch among the Northwest Coast Indians, military conquest in Islam, and Buddhist monasticism in Tibet.

Story
"Das obszöne Werk", 1972 erstmals auf Deutsch erschienen, apostrophierte Susan Sontag als "Kammermusik der pornographischen Literatur". Die erotische Erfahrung ist für Bataille eine zweifache: die des Tabus und die seiner Überschreitung; erst die Überschreitung des Tabus ermöglicht den Personen Batailles - Sartre nannte ihn einen "neuen Mystiker" - auch die Transzendierung des Ich.

Story
"J'ai adoré ma mère, je ne l'ai pas aimée. De son côté, j'étais pour elle l'enfant des bois, le fruit d'une volupté inouïe : ce fruit, elle l'avait nourri dans sa dévotion enfantine, retour de la folle tendresse, angoissée et gaie, qu'elle me donnait, rarement, mais qui m'éblouissait. J'étais né de l'éblouissement de ses jeux d'enfant, et je crois qu'elle n'aima jamais un homme. [...] elle n'eut dans sa vie qu'un violent désir, celui de m'éblouir et de me perdre dans le scandale où elle se voulait perdue."
