The The Sacred Conspiracy
The Internal Papers of the Secret Society of Acephale and Lectures to the College of Sociology
(Autor) Georges BatailleHaving spent the early thirties in far-left groups opposing Fascism, in 1937 Georges Bataille abandoned this approach so as to transfer the struggle onto the mythological plane, founding two groups with this aim in mind. The College of Sociology gave lectures attended by major figures from the Parisian intelligentsia - intended to reveal the hidden undercurrents within a society that appeared to be bordering on collapse. The texts in this book comprise lectures given to the College; essays from the Acephale journal and a large cache of the internal papers of the secret society of Acephale.
Georges Bataille
Georges Bataille (1897-1962) was a French writer and philosopher known for his provocative and controversial works that explored themes of eroticism, death, and transgression. His most notable works include "Story of the Eye," "The Accursed Share," and "Erotism: Death and Sensuality." Bataille's literary style was characterized by a blend of philosophical inquiry, poetic prose, and surreal imagery. He made significant contributions to literature through his exploration of taboo subjects and his challenge to conventional moral and social norms. Bataille's impact on his genre can be seen in his influence on postmodern and avant-garde writers, as well as his role in the development of French intellectual thought. His most famous work, "Story of the Eye," remains a controversial and influential work in the realm of transgressive literature.
