DESCRIPTION:<p>George Bataille is surely one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century &ndash\; drawing&nbsp\;attention from notable figures such as Heidegger (who once remarked that Bataille was &lsquo\;one of&nbsp\;France&rsquo\;s best minds&rsquo\;) as well as influencing Foucault\, Deleuze and Derrida. Today his impact is still&nbsp\;explicit in the work of Georgio Agamben and Jean-Luc Nancy\, with their respective works on&nbsp\;sovereignty and community. Bataille&rsquo\;s three volume Accursed Share project\, which can be perhaps&nbsp\;designated as the most systematic presentation of his thought\, is an outrageously enigmatic and&nbsp\;ambitious series of texts. It traverses a variety of disciplines\, including sociology\, psychology\,&nbsp\;anthropology\, political theory\, cultural studies\, and of course\, philosophy. This conference aims to&nbsp\;explore some themes from the texts and to cultivate the continuing discussion concerning&nbsp\;Bataille&rsquo\;s thought.</p>\n<p>William.Stronge@uwe.ac.uk</p>
