Slips into the corporeal, or on the effects of the enchantment of conjuration: expenditures on Georges Bataille

Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct from Georges Bataille's reflections the notion of hiding and sexuality. Therefore, delimiting a philosophical affair with the notions of expenditure, transgression and interdiction are central, since our philosopher uses elements of eschatology in order to delimit the most intimate space of corporeality. This will be understood from its immanence, given that there is no perspective of metaphysical or religious (the difference with the sacred is kept here) within the work of the French thinker. In this way, the aim of this work is to specify the most peculiar place of hiding in human life, starting from what is lowest and lowest, as our author proceeds. Starting from this purpose, our research aims to explain which are the intricacies that permeate the most characteristic dynamics of pleasures that, in turn, delimit the space of our corporeality, as well as about the “flesh” of the world.
