Sommario:
- <p><span lang="EN-US">Georges Bataille (1897–1962) reconstructs the place of art and knowledge not within a “restricted” economy oriented toward utility, but within a <strong>general economy</strong> in which <strong>abundance</strong> and <strong>expenditure (<em>dépense</em>)</strong> are constitutive of human societies.</span><sup><span><a href="#user-content-fn-1"><span lang="EN-US">1</span></a></span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> His reading of <strong>Mauss’s potlatch</strong>—the ceremonial giving and destruction of wealth—functions as an anthropological model for understanding domains such as <strong>art</strong>, <strong>religion</strong>, <strong>eroticism</strong>, and even <strong>(pure) scientific inquiry</strong> as unproductive expenditures of energy that generate prestige, sacrality, and transgression, rather than instrumental outcomes.</span></p>
