The aim of this article is to analyze Georges Bataille’s work in the light of French theoretical texts of the second half of the 20th century. The key idea that frames the discussion is based on the assumption that the openness of Bataille’s thought falls outside the framework of the literary commentary. As a result, a faithful reading of Bataille’s thought must betray the latter in a certain sense. This idea comes from the conviction that reading Bataille, only possible through “post-Bataille,” must opt for openness of his text. The author argues that Bataille’s text is only attainable as a trace that we can redraw across other texts which develop (from) his écriture.
