A review by casparb
Eroticism by Georges Bataille
4.0
Spicye
Anyway I'm a little tipsy so this won't be the most coherent effort of mine but it's a peculiar and ideosyncratic and maybe-but-I'd-need-to-reread-it type potential genius work I'm not sure.
Eroti(ci)sm isn't so much about sex acts as it is anthropological. In a sense, Bataille is mostly concerned with taboos (and the nature thereof). There's a Hegelianism here I think which ought to be fairly obvious through the taboo-erotic thing but again. Not overread here. Bataille does aim a certain critique at Hegel but he also points out that Hegel would agree (I agree that he would agree what a happy time for everybody).
What am I saying? It's exciting and interesting and a wonderful example of not-overly-academic thinking that still is serious and cutting and philosophical. I particularly adore the linguistic turn toward the end. Anyway it's been a long time since I read the first bit but the introduction was also excellent ok bye xxx
