Summary
Georges Bataille: The Cursed Part
The idea of a world ruled by the primal necessity of production, acquisition and preservation of the acquired is just a comfortable illusion because society survives only at the cost of unproductive consumption. From archaic to modern times, man's economic behavior has always been tied to his religious roots. Seemingly reasonable, it is deeply irrational in its essence.
The book "The Cursed Part" occupies a central place in the work of Georges Bataille, the writer of transgression; his thoughts on economics are imbued with philosophical, anthropological, sociological and literary knowledge and experience.
For Georges Bataille (1897-1962), Michel Foucault said that he was one of the most important writers of his century. He is the author of various works, novels, poetry, essays. His main works are: "Inner experience", "My mother", "History of the eye", "Blueness of the sky", "Eroticism", "Lascaux or the birth of art"...
