Conon d’Athènes fait partie des personnages qui ont fortement marqué l’histoire de sa cité durant la période classique. Son influence au cours de cette étape de l’histoire de la Grèce ne s’est pas limitée à Athènes. En effet, il est un acteur des rapports que celle-ci entretient avec les autres cités grecques, particulièrement avec Sparte, mais surtout des relations entre Athènes et les Perses, notamment Pharnabaze et Artaxerxès II. Malgré cette présence remarquable et incontestable, la vie et la personnalité de Conon n’ont guère fait l’objet de contributions approfondies et complètes. C’est l’objectif que cette étude s’est fixé, en proposant de Conon d’Athènes cet essai de biographie. Il ressort en définitive que l’homme a connu une trajectoire singulière. Durant la dernière décennie de la guerre du Péloponnèse, il apparaît comme un stratège très actif auquel la cité renouvelle sa confiance. Mais à la défaite d’Aigos-Potamos en 405 il réagit par un exil volontaire à Chypre,où il prépare son retour dans sa patrie et un spectaculaire renversement des rapports de force tant entre Grecs et Perses qu’entre les deux grandes cités grecques de l’époque. Comblé d’honneurs dans Athènes comme dans les cités qu’il a libérées de Sparte, il meurt néanmoins dans un nouvel exil. / Conon of Athens played a major role in classical Athenian history. His influence even reached far beyond this famous city. He was an immensely important actor in the international relations between Athens, Sparta and other Greek cities, and the most important intermediary for Athens with Artaxerxes II, Pharnabazus and the Persians more generally. In spite of this prominent role there are few focussed studies of Conon’s extraordinary career and personality. By presenting a biographical essay on him this study therefore fills a significant gap in ancient-history scholarship. This essay explores the striking direction of his career. Coming out of almost total obscurity in 414/3, he started a civil and military career that experienced a brutal interruption after Athens’s total defeat at Aegospotami in 405/4. After living for 12 years in exile, he returned, eventually, to his city, in 394/3, as a celebrated military victor and hero. But his exceptional career ended, in 390/89, again, a long away from Athens.

As authors who were born in different times and engaged themselves in different areas of knowledge, Breillat s thoughts are expressed through motion picture and those of Bataille in the form of writing. This is the reason why the dialogue implied in this paper has a thematic background. The privilege of both authors´ erotic view is used here as the central axis, starting from Bataille s idea that the sense of eroticism is the fusion, the suppression of limits. However, though both see the union of the bodies as corresponding to a violation of the identities, the presence of the female character in Breillat s films permeates such conception with a certain rare complexity concerning gender and love. The analysis of such particulars opens up the possibility of marking out not only strong points in common, but also significant distinctions between the two eroticisms / Cotejar as obras da cineasta Catherine Breillat e do filósofo Georges Bataille é o objetivo deste trabalho. Sendo autores nascidos em épocas diferentes, e alocados em distintas áreas do conhecimento, o pensamento de Breillat se apresenta na forma de filme e o de Bataille na da escrita. Por tal razão, o diálogo que aqui se propõe é de fundo temático. Toma-se como eixo central o privilégio da visada erótica nos dois autores, partindo da concepção batailliana de que o sentido do erotismo é a fusão, a supressão dos limites . Porém, ainda que para ambos a união dos corpos corresponda à violação das identidades, a presença do personagem feminino nos filmes de Breillat faz essa concepção ser atravessada por uma problemática rara do gênero e do amor. O exame de tais particularidades permite circunscrever pontos de contato intensos, mas também distinções significativas entre as duas eróticas

In these, the author exposes the epistemological element of erotic experiences and their religious foundations. Bataille composes an encounter between religion and sexuality, a meeting that defies the action of human continuity and discontinuity, superseding and condemning the being. Thus, life and death meet by means of the discovery of erotism and religion, being erotism the inner life substance of humans, deeply identifying them with religious experiences. The adopted approach for the present work was approximative and problem-focused, intended to dare to discover the essential meaning of the bataillian erotica, reaching an understanding. With no pre-conceived rigour, a journey throughout his works is hereby proposed. We go from the theoretical influences that caused the meeting of the aforementioned concepts to a critical and geographical interpretation of the chosen body of documents, favouring the conceptual structure of Erotism and Religion and their correlated terms: interdiction, transgression, sacrifice, death, life, continuity and discontinuity. Finally, the central focus of this study is on the concepts of Erotism and Religion and their inter-relation within the experience of mystical ecstasy / O presente trabalho tem por finalidade determinar o emprego, a concepção e a relação dos termos Erotismo e Religião em Georges Bataille. Serão enfatizados os textos que concentram as principais dimensões de sua obra, a saber: O Erotismo, As Lágrimas de Eros e a Experiência Interior. Nesses, o autor expõe a dimensão epistemológica da experiência erótica e seu fundamento religioso. Bataille elabora um encontro entre a religião e a sexualidade, encontro esse que desafia o ato da continuidade e descontinuidade humana, superando o ser e condenando esse ser. Assim, vida e morte se encontram no desvendar do erotismo e da religião, sendo o erotismo a substância da vida interior do homem, identificando-o em profundidade com a experiência religiosa. A abordagem praticada na pesquisa foi problematizadora e aproximativa, cuja intenção foi descobrir o sentido essencial da erótica batailliana, produzindo-lhe uma compreensão. Sem um rigor pré-feito, foi proposto um caminhar pelas obras. Passou-se pelas influências teóricas que forjaram o encontro dos conceitos a uma leitura crítico-geográfica do corpo documental eleito, privilegiando a estrutura conceptual de Erotismo e Religião e seus correlatos: a interdição, a transgressão, o sacrifício, a morte, a vida, a continuidade e a descontinuidade. Por fim, a investigação teve como ponto central os conceitos de Erotismo e Religião e a inter-relação existente na experiência do êxtase místico

This thinker, whose works deal with an erotic intention stigmatized as both pornographic and disconcerting because it subverts the concepts of reality and normality, constituted our main theoretical and literary "corpus". Bataille proposes a decomposition of the paradigm of civilizing rationality thanks to the idiosyncratic and obscure rhythms that form his erotic subject, with impure and imperfect subjectivities. In this discussion, we address his vision that consists in eroticism recognized as an inner experience, not subdued to regulation or discipline. This type of experience causes a kind of not-knowing, which reproduces the configuration of wild singularities proposed by Foucault and related to what cannot be assimilated by institutions and cultures. The characters in his literary narrative allow us to observe and define the erotic subject at the intersection between ecstasy and inner experience. They are convulsive bodies emerging from vertigo. Impregnated with this problem, they bring Eros sovereignty with elements of tragic eroticism and of horror that plunge the subject into the unknowable and the rationalizing inapprehensible. What we question in his mind is the challenge of thinking the abject and the excremental, that escape deterministic reasoning and release the vision of contemplative ecstasy by dispelling the significant determinants and the pedagogization that intertwine the social fabric.. The thesis will present his position deliberately at the fringe, which aimed to upset the established order in theology and science. It will reveal the orgiastic itinerary created by Bataille and characterized by economy of outlay, excess, anguish, ecstasy, eroticism, inner experience and concerns. Such a philosophical intent proposes a thought of waste, consumption and reasoning that release from the human condition / Esta tese estabelece uma leitura, no campo das ciências sociais, dos conceitos filosóficos: erotismo, êxtase, experiência interior, excesso, transgressão e ânus solar, que compõem o orgiástico sujeito erótico no pensamento e na narrativa romanescas do pensador Georges Bataille, que rompe com o paradigma civilizatório. O autor constitui nosso principal corpus teórico e literário, cujas obras, estão envolvidas numa concepção erótica estigmatizada como pornográfica e desconcertante, por subverter os conceitos de normalidade e realidade. Ele propõe uma decomposição do paradigma da racionalidade civilizatória, aos ritmos idiossincráticos e obscuros que compõem o sujeito erótico batailliano, com subjetividades impuras e imperfeitas . Nessa discussão conferimos o seu olhar constituinte de uma eroticidade, reconhecida enquanto experiência interior, não submetida à normatização e ao disciplinamento. Tal natureza de experiência, provoca uma espécie de não-saber, refletindo a configuração das singularidades selvagens, propostas em Foucault, relacionadas com aquilo ainda inassimilável pelas instituições e pelas culturas. Em sua narrativa literária, os personagens nos permitem observar e margear o sujeito erótico constituído no cruzamento entre o êxtase com a experiência interior. São corpos convulsivos que emergem da vertigem. Impregnados nessa problematicidade, trazem a soberania de Eros com elementos de um erotismo trágico e de horror, que mergulham o sujeito batailliano no incognoscível e no desentendimento racionalizante. O que interrogamos em seu pensamento é o desafio de pensar o que é abjeto e excremental, que escapa da razão determinista e liberta a visão da estaticidade contemplativa, dissipando significados determinantes e a pedagogização dos sentidos que entretece os tecidos sociais. A tese apresentará a sua posição nas margens, de modo a provocar desacomodações teológicas e cientifizantes. Revelará o itinerário orgiástico concebido por Bataille, tomado pela economia do dispêndio, excesso, angústias, êxtases, erotismos, experiência interior e inquietações. Tal concepção filosófica propõe um pensar do desperdício, da consumação e do raciocínio obsessivo que instaura uma libertação da condição humana

The aim of the thesis is to identify and investigate central themes in two video artworks, Poliisi and Pink Ball, by Swedish artist Annika Larsson. Moreover it is an investigation of the configurations of violence, and an enquiring whether these works have a social-minded intention. Elements in scenery, framing and narration are analysed with the term “crystalline regime” (régim cristallin), described by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, which defines the artificial as opposed to the purely representational.

Proposant une application de la Théorie de la religion de Georges Bataille au roman Les 120 journées de Sodome de D.A.F. de Sade, le mémoire interroge les rapports de l'aristocrate libertin, personnage typique de l'univers fictionnel sadien, au fondement de sa communauté. Il veut en outre montrer que, par un procédé d'inversion des valeurs morales sur lesquelles reposent nos sociétés historiques, et par une radicalisation corrélative de la polarité dominant/dominé, la communauté libertine cherche sa légitimation dans la perpétuation de la violence sexuelle. Après avoir présenté les idées-forces qui structurent la Théorie, il s'agira de déterminer comment, à partir d'un système multifonctionnel qu'à la suite de R. Barthes nous avons baptisé « dispositif de la clôture », s'organise, dans le texte, un réseau de figures soutenant un rapprochement de sens entre le retrait du monde qui caractérise le château de Silling où se déroule l'action, et l'inextricable solitude du libertin. Nous verrons alors que cette solitude, condition de possibilité de l'érotisme libertin, sert de base sur laquelle les « passions » des libertins, soigneusement codifiées par eux, s'érigent en véritables institutions sociales, concourant du coup à l'instrumentalisation brutale et sans appel des sujets en présence. Nous verrons ensuite qu'en commettant, dans le dernier quart de leur aventure, d'innombrables « meurtres de débauche », les libertins accomplissent une singulière quête d'essence qui, bien qu'elle puisse en exhiber certaines caractéristiques constitutives, s'avère parfaitement étrangère à la trajectoire sacrificielle décrite par Bataille dans sa Théorie, et appliquée par lui au roman sadien dans La littérature et le mal. En définitive, les libertins, commentant sans relâche l'acte de tuer, semblent vouloir dépasser leur condition d'êtres mortels et basculer, depuis l'ordre culturel où ils se meuvent, dans l'étendue immanente du monde naturel. Mais si un tel passage représente, comme nous le croyons, l'objectif supérieur visé par l'inauguration de cette étrange « communauté du crime », nous ne pouvons ultimement que mesurer l'impuissance des libertins à l'atteindre. Tout, dans le texte, donne en effet à penser que les seigneurs de Silling ressortent inchangés de leurs ébats meurtriers, et que, de cette nature dans laquelle ils rêvaient de se fondre, il ne subsiste en définitive que les rouages d'une métaphysique du « crime naturel ». ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Violence, transcendance, immanence, érotisme, D.A.F. de Sade, Georges Bataille.
