Summary/Abstract: The literature universe of Georges Bataille is originated on the base of the negation which rises from Nietzsche’s concept of the death of the God and from the subsequent uncertainty which means the decomposition of the subjectivity of man. Bataille tries the carnavalesque subversion of the reality, the exteriorization of phantasms and also seeks new possibilities of the transcendence. This transcendence is labeled as «the inner experience»: it is possible to reach it through the excess and sexuality. According to the specific principle of his thinking and the situation of the narration in the border of the neurosis, Bataille’s work served as an inspiration for Barthes and Lacan whose specific reading of Bataille is also treated in this article.
