Description:The title of this publication points to the collection of essays by French writer and philosopher Georges Bataille, gathered under the name Visions of Excess: Selected Writings 1927-1939, published in English in 1985. Through a complex body of work, at times even contradictory, Bataille attacks the notion of totalidentification promoted by Enlightenment and instead offers a model of human difference and sheer loss. His references to death, impotence and excrement create powerful images that unavoidably resonate with contemporary violence. Bataille's particular perspective on excess has been the focus of SOMA Summer 2015.El título de esta publicación apunta a la colección de ensayos por el escritor y filósofo francés Georges Bataille, reunidos bajo el nombre Visions of Excess: Selected Writings 1927-1939, publicado en inglés en 1985.
