Dallas, Case, Robert (DMB mentioned):
The only thing I've actually read from Bataille is that introduction from
Eroticism. I'm reading it for a class right now. Actually, I like a lot of
what I've read but I'm inclined to ignore anything that refers to gender at
all. Not that they might not be accurate in the sense that he's describing
in his theories on eroticism but because of the broader societal
implications that people draw from them. The two are totally different
scales.
On another note though, I've been reading Verne Dusenberry's "The Montana
Cree"... he references contemporaries of Bataille's (Freud, Durkheim and
some others)... Look out for a new thread on some interesting connections
here :)
Cheers,
Rebecca
PS. Robert:
I don't at all think that Pirsig _derived_ his metaphysics from Christian
theology. Ideas are never entirely independent though - it's just something
to explore.! :)
