{"product_id":"georges-bataille-and-contemporary-thought-will-stronge-9781350141650","title":"Georges Bataille and Contemporary Thought","description":"Georges Bataille's influence upon 20th-century philosophy is hard to overstate. His writing has transfixed his readers for decades - exerting a powerful influence upon Foucault, Blanchot and Derrida amongst many others. Today, Bataille continues to be an important reference for many of today's leading theorists such as Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy and Adrianna Caverero. His work is a unique and enigmatic combination of mystical phenomenology, politics, anthropology and economic theory - sometimes adopting the form of literature, sometimes that of ontology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is the first book to take Bataille's ambitious and unfinished \u003ci\u003eAccursed Share\u003c\/i\u003e project as its thematic guide, with individual contributors isolating themes, concepts or sections from within the three volumes and taking them in different directions. Therefore, as well as providing readings of Bataille's key concepts, such as animality, sovereignty, catastrophe and the sacred, this collection aims to explore new terrain and new theoretical problems.\u003ci\u003eGeorges Bataille and Contemporary Thought\u003c\/i\u003e acts simultaneously as a companion to Bataille's three-volume secular theodicy and as a laboratory for new syntheses within his thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Stronge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350141658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350141650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.65d","brand":"Will Stronge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123084062975,"sku":"9781350141650","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1073384a-7641-4efc-9e07-2eaf8f4f6ad9.jpg?v=1687428829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georges-bataille-and-contemporary-thought-will-stronge-9781350141650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
