Sommario/riassunto

In the 1930's, Georges Bataille proclaimed a ferociously religious sensibility characterized by simultaneous ecstasy and horror. 'Ecce Monstrum' investigates the content and implications of this religious sensibility by examining Bataille's insistent linking of monstrosity and the sacred.
