A History of Women's Writing in France
Just a few bits away from a five star book. I believe it could be introduced as a set of essays taking as their subject the influence that Bataille's thought has exerted on poststructuralist and "postmodern" thought (most notably Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, Deleuze, Kristeva, Lyotard, Baudrillard and Goux), into instead of a strict (in terms of Bataille's heterology - "in-formed", that is, both formed and formless at once due to the notion of excess) theoretical rigor takes up various artifacts of cultural production as means to illuminate and critique these connections. To give an example, while the figure of Shakespeare's Hamlet and the encounter with the ghost makes up for a major theme in Derrida's reading of Marx, Botting and Wilson take up The Birthday Party's song about the Danish prince riding a cadillac with a gun as a means to restructure the discours with a drive towards the... POW POW POW Or take a reading of the movie Pretty Woman according to the question of who's the whore - the figure of the prostitute played by Julia Roberts or the millionnaire earning money by destroying industries played by Richard Gere - all looming back into the links between Bataille's thoughts on eroticism and sovereignty and Lacan's notion of jouissance.
It's all fun to read and most of the discussions are brilliant, though I wouldn't recommend this neither to beginners in poststructuralism, or Bataille-newbies, not to mention the sometimes rather confusing amount of references (including the pop-cultural ones) the unfamiliarity with which can cause rather confusion. Nevertheless, I'm sure it won't be gathering dust in my bookshelf.
The book lists an annotated bibliography of works on Bataille as a list of Bataille's works available in English.
