Nessa perspectiva, pretendemos investigar a crítica de Bataille à concepção de Sartre do engajamento do escritor. Há uma responsabilidade e comprometimento da literatura, segundo Sartre, na relação entre autor e leitor, no compromisso que um tem com o outro, tendo a literatura relação no mundo com causas históricas. Portanto, no desenvolvimento do tema da escrita literária em Georges Bataille, há claramente divergências em relação à noção sartreana do engajamento do escritor, na medida em que Bataille postula, na literatura, uma experiência que não se subordina ao princípio da eficácia, do âmbito da práxis, pois, trata-se de uma experiência soberana. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ / ABSTRACT: With this work we aim to approach the question of the literature a free way for one‟s feelings and their incompatible points, according to George Bataille‟s thought. We focus on the relations between literature and the writer‟s will taken as an inner experience, which is supposed to become real within itself, hence, without any goal in the world of the actions and the utilitarian society. Through this perspective, we have the objective of looking into Bataille‟s critique of Sartre‟s conception of writer engagement. According to Sartre, there is a literature‟s responsibility and commitment in the association between author and reader, in the commitment that one has to each other, having literature become related to the world filled with historical causes. Therefore, in the development of the literary writing theme in George Bataille‟s thought, there are clear differences related to Sartre‟s idea of the engagement of the writer, for Bataille claims that inside literature there is an experience that does not subordinate itself to the efficiency principle in terms of practice because it is a matter of a sovereign experience.

This thesis examines the theatre of Sheffield-based theatre group Forced Entertainment in terms of what art historian Robert Hewison terms 'Social Surrealism'. This term describes a politically engaged series of art practices that developed in Britain under Margaret Thatcher in the late nineteen-eighties. 'Social Surrealist' theatre makers adopted a radically different set of aesthetic strategies to the more traditional leftist political theatre tradition of 'social realism'. While Hewison links these practices to the so-called 'classical' Surrealism theorised by Andr?? Breton, I will argue that a more appropriate and useful Surrealist lineage to account for Forced Entertainment's theatre can be found in the writings of Andr?? Breton's main Surrealist rival, Georges Bataille. This thesis focuses on Bataille's notion of 'the formless' or formlessness, that which undoes and unravels the security and fixity of form, and uses this as a theoretical concept to account for the aesthetics and unravelling theatre practice of Forced Entertainment. This thesis then examines a selection of theatre works by Forced Entertainment, tracing the ways in which these works undo theatre using formlessness.

This thesis works as a means for exploring the role of dreams and otherness within performance practice. By building upon the work of French intellectual Georges Bataille, I work to propose a method by which dreams may be incorporated through a phenomenological lens intended to invite openness to interpretation as a means of engaging the otherness of the audience. To aid in this theoretical aim, I highlight In Quiet Search of a Universal Gesture (a show featured in the Marion Kleinau Theatre directed by myself and Jason Hedrick) as an example of dream art as a means of exploring otherness.

O tema do sagrado é central na antropologia desde a sua origem. Esta pesquisa propõe o enfrentamento da noção através das lentes de Georges Bataille (1897-1962) e Michel Leiris (1901-1990) na França dos anos 1930, tendo em vista o cruzamento de suas experiências intelectuais e de suas formulações teóricas. Toma-se como ponto de partida para a análise a \'sociologia sagrada\' por eles anunciada no Collège de Sociologie (1937-1939), que reclama o sagrado em dupla articulação: ao mesmo tempo que conceito explicativo ele funciona também como uma prática, uma maneira de ver e também de agir sobre o mundo. Em meio aos debates da época empreendidos pela intelectualidade e os movimentos de vanguarda sobre as possíveis formas da ação política, tendo em vista sua ligação com a arte, o sagrado aparece nos trabalhos de Bataille e Leiris como uma alternativa surpreendente. O intuito é rever uma tradição de debates em torno do conceito a partir das formulações radicais e originais destes autores, indicando como se relacionam, cada qual à sua maneira, com a teoria social precedente. / The sacred has been a central subject of anthropological investigations since its origins. This research proposes an approach to the concept through the eyes of George Bataille (1897-1962) and Michel Leiris (1901-1990) in 1930s France, having in sight the crossing of their intellectual experiences and their theoretical formulations. We assume the sacred sociology, proposed by both authors during the years of the Collège de Sociologie (1937-1939), as a starting point to claim the use of the sacred in a double framing: functioning as an explanatory concept, it would also work as a praxis, a way of seeing and acting upon the world. Amid the debates of the time, undertook by intellectuals and the avant-garde movements about the possible paths of political actions and its connections with art forms, the sacred appears in the works of Bataille and Leiris as a striking alternative. The goal is to retrace a tradition of debates involving the concept through both authors formulations at the same time radical and original , showing how they relate, each in their own way, with the former social theory.
