literature, evil, degenerateAbstract
This is a study of the provisions of evil in literature, based on the idea of Georges Bataille that this tendency is imposed as a sovereign value. In a way, this movement reverses the Plotinian paradigm of good as a generative principle, a deviation of which, in the philosopher’s terms, leads to a “limp life”, and, in the extreme, degenerate. The degenerate, in turn, answer for the will of excess and expenditure in man.
