George Bataille’s La Part maudite was published in 1949. In the post-war period, this text was disconcerting. Poorly understood, it has been discredited by both specialists and readers of Bataille. All the more reason to return this essential text and its dream of pure expenditure to its rightful place.

Review - French En fevrier 1949 paraitLa Part maudite I. La Consumation. Dans le contexte d'apres-guerre, ce texte a deconcerte. Les Azteques et leurs sacrifices ont pu sembler d'une superbe inactualite, de meme que la celebration de la depense, en des temps de penurie. De plus, en un temps ou le marxisme semble un horizon indepassable, voila un auteur qui pense la cite a partir de l'archaique. Inclassable, un tel ouvrage aura souffert longtemps d'un discredit, de la part des specialistes (economistes, ethnologues), mais egalement des lecteurs de Bataille. Ce collectif a pour ambition de redonner sa place a un texte essentiel et au reve d'une depense improductive, c'est-a-dire d'une depense pure.
