| Summary: | This paper explores the relation of eroticism, death and religion in the thought of the French philosopher and writer Georges Bataille (1897-1962). Keeping in line with the writing style of Bataille himself, this paper is not so much a critical scholarly analysis than a free interpretation/improvisation on his texts relevant for this theme. The article is divided into two main parts. The first part, as already indicated in the title, traces the genealogy of the interrelation of eroticism, death and religion since the very beginnings of humankind, paying special attention to the role of taboo, sacrifice, etc. The second part, in turn, delineates three forms of eroticism-physical, emotional, and religious-and, most extensively, focuses on what the author of the article considers to be the meaning or intention of Bataille's writing on this theme, namely a kind of mystical transformation of consciousness by means of erotic transgression simulating death. In any case, the leading idea of the article can be formulated in this way: eroticism attains its religious meaning through the awareness of death. |
