Is /lit/ still a Bataillean board?
Do you still dilate multiple times a day?
>>24748054I'm a cis white man. What about you?
>>24747956I wish. Most people here have never read anything by him except Story of the Eye
>>24748054Not multiple
>>24747956no, it's a lacan board now
>>24748378t. has never had an excess of energy
>>24747956No. Most of his work is about taboo sexual shit, and /lit/ is full of virgins
>>24747956Retroactively refuted by Guenon (PBUH).
>>24748397Unironically this.
>stillstill excremental? yup.but if we're going to be TRVE Batailleans we're gunna have to start up with the ritualistic sacrifices. all volunteers raise your hands
>>24748397If anything, being a virgin would probably intensify a person's receptivity to literary explorations of taboo sexuality. For the same reason that successful smut writers usually do not lead exciting sex lives themselves. What is not experienced is a germ in the imagination, and when this is coupled with a desire which has never found a release, in this instance the unattenuated libido itself, all sorts of imaginative outlets become not only possible but most likely.
>>24749082>everybody volunteers to be the sacrifice>nobody volunteers to be the sacrificerMany such cases
>>24747956people always place him in the critical theory context but i think he's equally interesting as one of the big dogs of the surrealist magazine scene. in Documents he was printing picasso exclusives next to french pulp covers and photos of gnostic artifacts.
>>24750068true visionary.
>>24747956>You called. We came.
>>24750177One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
>>24747956I'm reading Inner Experience because of some anon (you know who you are) and I have literally no idea what the fuck he's talking about, and I've read Being and Time.
>>24751646Do read Guilty after; it is beautiful.
>>24750177
>>24747956When you wear a tie, Read Bataille. We you don't wear a tie,Read Bataille. When you're eating Thai, Read Bataille. When you're not eating Thai, Read Bataille. Accursed Share, Story of the Eye:Start anywhere, just read Bataille.
Base(d) materialism
>>24748413>Retroactively refuted by GuenonExplain.
>>24748397>Most of his work is about taboo sexual shitImagine all the things he did with/to picrel.
>>24752287Lacan too
>>24752302Haven't read much Lacan. Was he as transgressive as Bataille?
>>24752308He fucked Bataille's wife is the jokeAs far as transgression goes, Lacan is more interested in truth. Bataille and Deleuze look childish in comparison. Especially given their respective fringedom of fandom whereas he dominates academia.I suppose he is based tho. Gays and trannies hate him for telling truths.
>>24747956I love extreme transgressive sex with cool bpd girls who push my limits and I was suicidal. So I rock with him.
Fuck I’d like to have those weird sexes again
>>24747956>before becoming an author he was going to become a priest
>>24752541He married her. Bataille and Sylvia had already long separated when Lacan started seeing her, but she wasn't divorced yet from Bataille (so that Lacan's daughter with her - later known for some post-68 Vincennes silliness - bore the last name Bataille at birth). By the time she and Lacan married, Bataille had been with Kiki de Montparnasse, Laure (Colette Peignot), Denise Rollin (mother of filmmaker Jean; would later have a - apparently mostly epistolary - relationship with Blanchot), and Diane Koutchoubey-Beauharnais, a Russian-Canadian princess twenty years his junior whom he would later marry, as well as frequently visiting prostitutes and attending orgies…
literally who
>>24752800>literally who>t.
>>24752800Georges Bataille. Big influence on deconstructionists and poststructuralists like Derrida and Foucault. Also influenced Clive Barker, the writer-director of Hellraiser.
Unironically he has a bit of a following among a certain subset of transexual socialites/internet personalities
