La Souveraineté du Mal: Georges Bataille et l'innocence coupable de la littérature
Résumé
In his critical literature essay The literature and Evil (1957), Georges Bataille use a panoply of key ideas to justify the Sovereignty of Evil in literature and the sovereignty of literature through Evil. The aim of this paper is to show that these notions and alternative modes of thought were already present in various anterior philosophical, economical and political works, even mystical, and that they may therefore constitute the heuristic base of his sociology.
