La littérature et le mal

Portada
Gallimard, 1990 - 201 páginas
«La littérature est l'essentiel, ou n'est rien. Le Mal - une forme aiguë du Mal - dont elle est l'expression, a pour nous, je le crois, la valeur souveraine. Mais cette conception ne commande pas l'absence de morale, elle exige une "hypermorale".La littérature est communication. La communication commande la loyauté : la morale rigoureuse est donnée dans cette vue à partir de complicités dans la connaissance du Mal, qui fondent la communication intense.La littérature n'est pas innocente, et, coupable, elle devait à la fin s'avouer telle. L'action seule a les droits. La littérature, je l'ai, lentement, voulu montrer, c'est l'enfance enfin retrouvée. Mais l'enfance qui gouvernerait aurait-elle une vérité ?»Georges Bataille. --

Acerca del autor (1990)

Georges Bataille was a French poet, novelist, and philosopher. He was born in Billon, Puy-de-Dome, in central France on September 10, 1897. His father was already blind and paralyzed from syphilis when Bataille was born. In 1915, Bataille's father died, his mind destroyed by his illness. The death marked his son for life. While working at the Bibliotheque National in Paris during the 1920s, Bataille underwent psychoanalysis and became involved with some of the intellectuals in the Surrealist movement, from whom he learned the concept of incongruous imagery in art. In 1946 he founded the journal Critique, which published the early work of some of his contemporaries in French intellectual life, including Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida. Bataille believed that in the darkest moments of human existence-in orgiastic sex and terrible death-lay ultimate reality. By observing them and even by experiencing them, actually in sex and vicariously in death, he felt that one could come as close as possible to fully experiencing life in all its dimensions. Bataille's works include The Naked Beast at Heaven's Gate (1956), A Tale of Satisfied Desire (1953), Death and Sensuality: A Study of Eroticism and the Taboo (1962), and The Birth of Art: Prehistoric Painting (1955). Bataille died in Paris on July 8, 1962.
