Bataille by Fred Botting

This text offers examples of ways of reading literary and cultural texts in the light of Bataille's work. The chapters explore Bataillean notions such as heterology, transgression and eroticism, demonstrating their significance for both contemporary and futural modes of cultural analysis.

'More than a book 'on' Bataille; this is a book almost 'by' BatailleIt describes and enacts Bataille's workings, ranging from Petrarch to Sidney to Lacan, from Shakespeare to 'Twin Peaks'; and it does so with brio, verve and humour. Bataille was very well-read - and he is himself well-read bu Botting and Wilson here.' - Thomas Docherty, University of Kent at Canterbury 'Fred Botting's and Scott Wilson's Bataille answers the question every student of the twenty first century should be asking: why Bataille - now?' - Gregory Ulmer, University of Florida
