Bringing together established scholars and emerging voices, 'Negative Ecstasies' engages Bataille from the perspective of religious studies and theology, forging links with feminist and queer theory, economics, secularism, psychoanalysis, fat studies, and ethics. As these essays demonstrate, Bataille's work bears significance to contemporary questions in the academy and vital issues in the world. We continue to ignore him at our peril.Perspectives in Continental Philosophy (FUP)ReligionReligionsElectronic books.Religion.Religions.200.92Biles Jeremy886421Biles JeremyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154307903321Negative ecstasies2088993UNINA
