Političnost književnosti, literarnost politike i transgresivnost: Georges Bataille
Politicality of Literature, Literariness of Politics and Transgression: Georges Bataille

Summary/Abstract: Although poststructuralism and deconstruction rarely discusses the influence of Georges Bataille, he set the foundations for the development of well-known theoretical concepts of Blanchot, Foucault, Derrida and Nancy. Writing on the borderline between literary and philosophical discourse, Bataille introduced heterodox notions of Marxism as a social theory and communism as a targeted social formation. The paper analyses a selection of Bataille’s texts, by focusing on the concept of experience, transgression and general economy to discuss the scale and effectiveness of the author’s arguments on the subject and the community. Even though Bataille was scorned as an alleged advocate of mysticism, in truth, as the paper argues, his ideas and concepts form a coherent philosophical system.
