Todavia, não trataremos do underground como um todo e delimitamos nosso corpus aos filmes: War Is Menstrual Envy (1992); A Bitter Message of Hopeless Grief (1988); Dead Man II: Return of the Dead Man (1994); The Loneliest Little Boy in the World (2000) e Extase de Chair Brisée (2005). Entendemos que nosso problema pode ser sintetizado na pergunta: como o extremo está presente no cinema underground? Buscando responder esta questão e apontar quais os elementos dessa imagem extrema duram nesses objetos, articulamos nossa proposta metodológica em três eixos: a escavação de Jusi Parikka (2012), para encontrar os objetos e informações sobre os mesmos; o método intuitivo de Bergson (2006) visando delimitar os virtuais e atuais da pesquisa; e a cartografia como proposto por Suzana Kilpp (2015) e Massimo Canevacci (1997), formando duas constelações onde são analisados os aspectos audiovisuais dos nossos objetos. Para nos aprofundarmos teoricamente no que propomos como imagens extremas nos aproximamos do trabalho do teórico francês Georges Bataille (1929) assim como de autores comentadores como Georges Didi-Huberman (2015), Benjamin Noys (2000) e Eliane Robert Moraes (2002). Ligados ao audiovisual e ao cinema nossa base teórica parte da concepção do audiovisual enquanto uma experiência corpórea e visceral como apresentado por Jusi Parikka (2012), Thomas Elsaesser (2010), Laura Wilson (2015) e Jack Sargeant (2015). Em nossas considerações finais apontamos para a constituição dessa imagem extrema nas potências virtuais da desfiguração e do animalesco, constituindo cada um em sua particularidade, uma imagem extrema tanto no aspecto visual como sonoro. / The theme of this thesis is the extreme image in underground cinema. However, we shall not deal with the underground as a whole, for we are delimiting our corpus to the following movies: War Is Menstrual Envy (1992); A Bitter Message of Hopeless Grief (1988); Dead Man II: Return of the Dead Man (1994); The Loneliest Little Boy in the World (2000), and Extase de Chair Brisée (2005). We understand that our problem may be summarized with this question: how is the extreme present in underground cinema? Looking for an answer for this question, and pointing to which elements of this extreme image are lasting in these objects, we articulate our methodological proposal in three axes: escavation, as in Jusi Parikka (2012), to find the objects and information about them; Henri Bergson's (2006) intuitive method, seeking to outline the virtual and actual of the research; cartography as proposed by Suzana Kilpp (2015), and Massimo Canevacci (1997), forming two constellations where they the audiovisual aspects of our objects are analyzed. As a way to plunge theoretically in what we propose as extreme images, we approach the work of French theoretician, Georges Bataille (1929), and also of commentator authors such as Georges Didi-Huberman (2015), Benjamin Noys (2000), and Eliane Robert Moraes (2002). Our theoretical basis connected to audiovisual and cinema starts with the conception of audiovisual as a corporeal and visceral experience, as presented by Jusi Parikka (2012), Thomas Elsaesser (2010), Laura Wilson (2015), and Jack Sargeant (2015). For our final considerations, we are pointing towards a constitution of such extreme images in virtual disfiguration and beastlike potentials, which constitute, each one with its own particularities, an extreme image both in visual and audible aspects.

Tudo inicia com o verbete de um dicionário não convencional. A revista Documents, na qual se publicava o Dictionnaire Critique, era editada pelo escritor francês Georges Bataille quando ele escreveu sobre o informe: um termo que \"serve para desclassificar\"; um vocábulo que não existe para dar significado a determinadas coisas, mas para instigar \"tarefas\"; uma noção antagônica a toda \"sobrecasaca matemática\"; uma disrupção ao academicismo \"que geralmente demanda que cada coisa tenha sua forma\". Esta dissertação fundamenta-se na acepção batailliana, destrinchando nuances, revisitando múltiplas leituras feitas a posteriori, buscando compreender o verbete em meio a todo conjunto do Dicionário Crítico, e, por fim, aceitando a diversidade e as contradições da rede de relações que Bataille instituía. Alicerçado nesse verbete acerca do informe, estabeleço uma operação crítica de observação do mundo, a qual irradia uma série de questões para além daquelas enfrentadas à época pelo grupo surrealista da Documents. Informes, no plural, apresenta um campo de diálogo entre trabalhos artísticos, projetos arquitetônicos, obras literárias. A crise do ideal de forma não é unívoca. O informe lança uma ilimitada multiplicidade de questões; nesta dissertação, apresentam-se algumas delas em um labirinto que põe em contato o Partially Buried Woodshed de Robert Smithson, o Tent Pile do Formlessfinder, a Endless House de Frederick Kiesler, o apartamento de A Espuma dos Dias, o Gutter Corner Splash e as espirais de Richard Serra, a crise da arte como ciência europeia por Edmund Husserl, os Sacchi de Alberto Burri, o vão livre do Masp e o pré-artesanato nordestino pela ótica de Lina Bo Bardi, a Torsione de Giovanni Anselmo somada a tantos outros trabalhos da dita Arte Povera, o Monumento a Bataille de Thomas Hirschhorn, o Merzbau de Kurt Schwitters, o Vortex do Raumlabor, o empilhar de telhas de Wang Shu, a entropia que se ausenta em O ateliê vermelho de Henri Matisse, o estúdio de Rémy Zaugg projetado pelo Herzog & de Meuron, a Mesa de Nelson Felix, o Fun Palace de Cedric Price, o Granby Four Streets do Assemble, os inacabados prisioneiros de Michelangelo. Essa polifonia consubstancia-se nos dezenove ensaios que se seguem. Tal como uma entrada de dicionário, cada texto é autossuficiente; entretanto, suas questões ricocheteiam ao longo da dissertação. Inspirado no Dictionnaire Critique e no livro Formless: A User\'s Guide, de Yve-Alain Bois e Rosalind Krauss, faço um emaranhado de heterogêneas rela- ções a partir de diferentes autores, artistas, arquitetos. Não há uma mesma unidade nem métrica para os ensaios: as estruturas textuais são diversas, os tamanhos são distintos, e sua leitura também não se faz exigente em ordem sequencial.. Há uma metalinguagem entre o informe e o (não)formato deste Informes. O que se intenta é o enfrentamento às convenções, ao status quo, ao senso comum. Uma busca deste mestrando para não ver o mundo como conjunto de formas, as quais obrigatoriamente devamos nos enquadrar. Afinal, já dizia Bataille, \"o universo é algo como uma aranha ou um escarro\". / Everything begins with an entry of an unconventional dictionary. The magazine Documents, in which the Dictionnaire Critique was published, was edited by the French writer Georges Bataille when he wrote about the formless: a term that \"serves to bring things down\"; a word that does not exist to give meaning to certain things, but to instigate \"tasks\"; an antagonistic notion to any \"mathematical frock coat\"; a disruption to academicism that \"generally requiring that each thing have its form\". This dissertation is based on the bataillian sense of the formless, unraveling nuances, revisiting multiple readings made a posteriori, seeking to understand the entry in the midst of all set the Critical Dictionary, and, finally, accepting diversity and contradictions of the network of relationships that Bataille instituted. From this entry on the formless, I establish a critical operation for observing the world, which radiates a number of issues beyond those that the Surrealist group faced at the time of Documents magazine. Formlesses, in plural, present a field of dialogue between artistic works, architectural projects, literary writings. The crisis of the ideal of form is not univocal. Formless launches unlimited and multiple questions, which, on this dissertation, present themselves in a labyrinth that put in contact the Partially Buried Woodshed by Robert Smithson, the Tent Pile by Formlessfinder, the Endless House by Frederick Kiesler, the apartment of L\'Écume des Jours, the Gutter Corner Splash and the spirals by Richard Serra, the crisis of art as a European science by Edmund Husserl, the Sacchi by Alberto Burri, the great span of Masp and the northeastern pre-crafts from the perspective of Lina Bo Bardi, the Torsione by Giovanni Anselmo together with many other of the Arte Povera, the Monument to Bataille by Thomas Hirschhorn, the Merzbau by Kurt Schwitters, the Vortex by Raumlabor, the stacking of tiles of Wang Shu, the absence of entropy in The Red Studio by Henri Matisse, the atelier of Rémy Zaugg designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the Mesa by Nelson Felix, the Fun Palace by Cedric Price, the Granby Four Streets by Assemble, the unfinished prisoners of Michelangelo. This polyphony is embodied on the following nineteen essays. Like a dictionary entry, each text is self-sufficient; however, their issues ricochet throughout the dissertation. Inspired by the Dictionnaire Critique and the book Formless: A User\'s Guide, of Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss, I make a tangle of heterogeneous relationships from different authors, artists, architects. There is neither unity nor metric on the essays: the textual structures are diverse, their sizes are different, and it is not necessary to read them in a sequential order. There is a metalanguage between the formless and the (non)format of this Formlesses. What I attempt is to confront the conventions, the status quo, the common sense. A search of this graduate student for not to see the world as a set of forms, in which we must necessarily fit in. After all, as Bataille had already said, \"the universe is something like a spider or spit\".

Qu'en est-il de la communication de l'impossible dans son rapport au pouvoir du langage ? En révélant la face a-dialectique du langage littéraire, Maurice Blanchot et Georges Bataille, liés par une amitié essentielle, ont redéployé l’espace désoeuvré de l’Impossible comme espace scripturaire. La présente étude s’est articulée en trois parties, regroupant chacune quatre chapitres. La première s’est intéressée à la nomination comme stricte révélation de la négativité, d’une part, et de l’altérité, d’autre part. Elle a analysé les stratégies de contestation du discours dialectique adoptées en vue de redessiner un nouvel espace communautaire grevé d’absence. Cette dernière, induisant par ailleurs le mouvement infini de la répétition, ouvre l’exigence scripturaire à l’in-fini du re-dire. La seconde a mis au centre de ses préoccupations, à l’exemple des auteurs eux-mêmes, la mort. Liée au déploiement scripturaire, la mort creuse littéralement le Dire dans lequel domine l’oscillation entre pouvoir et impouvoir. La dimension thanatique des œuvres des deux auteurs convoque les notions de limite, de transgression, de dehors, de chance et de neutre qui envisagent toutes l’ouverture de l’expérience scripturaire sur son impossible horizon. La dernière partie, quant à elle, a mis en évidence la manière dont l’écriture, en son mouvement disjoint et imaginaire, s’abstrait du domaine du possible en s’ouvrant finalement sur le silence dont elle se fait complice pour ouvrir le Dire au partage de l’Impossible. / This thesis discusses the saying of the Impossible in its relationship to the power of language in the works of Maurice Blanchot and Georges Bataille. By unveiling the a-dialectical aspect of the literary language, Maurice Blanchot and Georges Bataille, who were bound by an essential friendship, deployed anew the idle space of the Impossible as a writerly space. This study is composed of three parts, each divided into four chapters. The first part discusses nomination as a strict unveiling of negativity on the one hand, and of alterity on the other hand, before analysing the strategies of contesting the dialectical discourse which were adopted by both writers with a view of delineating a new community space marked by absence. By inducing an endless movement of repetition, absence is shown to open the writerly exigence to the infiniteness of re-saying. The second part focuses on death as explored by both writers themselves. As linked to the writerly deployment, death literally enacts a saying dominated by the oscillation between Power and Unpower. The thanatical dimension of the works of both authors relies on the notions of limits, transgression, exteriority, chance and neutre, all of which lead to the opening of the writerly experience on its impossible horizon. The third part highlights how writing, in its disjointed and imaginary movement, abstracts itself from the realm of the possible by opening itself to the silence and becoming thus its accomplice to open the saying to the sharing of the Impossible.

Head Chop is a practice-led research project exploring the thinking of community found within the works of Georges Bataille, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Maurice Blanchot. Using the central exchange between Nancy and Blanchot, as found in the triple intersection of texts composed of Nancy's Inoperative Community, Blanchot's The Unavowable Community, and finally Nancy's recent The Disavowed Community, Head Chop draws upon the interfaces of these three works to develop a reading of community. Utilising the concept of fictioning, an imaging of possible worlds, as its primary methodology, Head Chop develops a narrativised analysis of community. The story of Acéphale, Bataille's secret society, provides the structuring fiction of the work. This story is developed from a synthesis of fragmentary accounts of the Acéphale group's sacrificial ambition, and the illustrations of the Acéphale journal. The result is a tale of a human sacrifice from which the being Acéphale subsequently arises. In tracing the relation of the work of Nancy and Blanchot to the work of Bataille, Head Chop draws attention to the role of the figure of Acéphale for Bataille, and its subsequent insinuation in the work of Nancy and Blanchot. The figure of Acéphale operates as an editorial device that structures and informs the readings of these works as a common grounding and central problematic. This situates the readings of Bataille, Nancy and Blanchot in a contested frame of reference by attempting to accommodate an alternate version of the sacrificial event. Head Chop finds a basis for its methodological investigation in Deleuze and Guattari's work What is Philosophy? Excising and developing a series of figures and conceptual tools from the works of Nancy, Blanchot and Bataille, Head Chop develops a crossing of these figures and concepts as characters within the broader narrative of Acéphale. Following this methodological approach, Head Chop traces series of connected concepts in the works of Nancy and Blanchot. In developing these connections in relation to the Acéphale narrative, conceptual structures engaged in the thinking of community are drawn out into the broader contexts of Nancy and Blanchot's work. These connections are traced in Nancy through addressing such notions as the deconstruction of the subject, the question of authenticity in Heidegger, a re-reading of Heideggeran ontology that privileges Mitsein, and the singular plural. In Blanchot conceptual connections are similarly traced, beginning from the foundational role of the other, the challenging passion of lovers, through to death, unworking, and the question of testimony. In developing a narrativised analysis of the figure of Acéphale, Head Chop aims to open new channels of inquiry into the concept of community as it arises between the works of Bataille, Blanchot and Nancy. Research questions: How does a re-imaging of the Acéphale story, in which Acéphale is begotten, engage with Bataille, Nancy and Blanchot's readings of community? What is to be gained from the use of a re-imagined Acéphale story in a thinking of community?

The critical tradition in International Relations Theory has placed great emphasis on the metaphysical nature of sovereignty, the concept assumed to be pivotal to the modern states system. The present study offers an explanation for the metaphysics that characterizes the prevailing notion of sovereignty via insights provided by Bataille. The study focuses on the ontological implications to which Bataille&rsquo / s formulation of sovereignty gives rise. Underlying this endeavor is to probe into the ways in which these implications enrich our understanding of sovereignty. One of the most important achievements of Bataille&rsquo / s approach to sovereignty is that it does not treat sovereignty as merely an administrative and legal issue. This achievement is highly critical in the sense that it enables us to realize the metaphysical dimension of sovereignty. This metaphysics has an important potential to render the problematic points in sovereignty visible. Through the analysis of these points, this study elaborates on the historical development of political authority and state sovereignty. Taking the anthropological data provided by Bataille into account the study claims that with the emergence of modernity, there came into existence a new metaphysical representation of sovereignty.

Ce mémoire étudie la série Aux Abattoirs de la Villette photographiée par Eli Lotar en 1929. Il montre comment elle a été assimilée par l’histoire de l’art au texte « Abattoir » de Georges Bataille, aux côtés duquel ont été reproduites trois photos du corpus sous la rubrique Dictionnaire critique de la revue Documents. Cette emprise théorique sur la série est mise en perspective au regard de la démarche artistique d’Eli Lotar et des autres photomontages dont elle a fait l’objet ensuite. Le premier chapitre insiste sur la formation d’Eli Lotar et introduit son séjour à La Villette en lien avec la thématique de l’abattoir dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Il analyse ensuite la fortune critique d’Aux Abattoirs de la Villette qui s’appuie sur la philosophie de l’informe chez Georges Bataille. Le deuxième chapitre analyse le photomontage de la série fait par E.L.T. Mesens dans Variétés (1930) et le photoreportage reconstitué par Carlo Rim dans Vu (1931). Selon des points de vue et un travail formel différents, tous deux accentuent la dimension humaine de l’industrie d’abattage animal. Le troisième chapitre fait apparaître le regard posé par Eli Lotar sur le site de La Villette en tenant compte de ses préoccupations socio-artistiques à travers ses collaborations auprès de Germaine Krull et Joris Ivens. Finalement, il dresse une analyse comparative de la série avec la toile Abattoir d’André Masson, le poème Porte Brancion de Raymond Queneau et le film Le sang des bêtes de Georges Franju pour renforcer les spécificités du médium photographique. / This master’s thesis is a study of the whole series Aux Abattoirs de la Villette, photographed by Eli Lotar in 1929. It demonstrates how the thirty-four prints were merged into Georges Bataille’s philosophy by the art historians of the 1990’s who based their interpretations upon the text « Abattoir ». This was published under the heading Dictionnaire critique inside Documents magazine. The series is taken apart from Bataille’s purpose in light of Lotar’s preoccupations and of the other editions of the photographs during the inter-war period. The first chapter insists on Eli Lotar’s photographic education preceding his visit to La Villette’s site in context with the slaughterhouse’s topic in the art Avant-garde. Then, it evaluates Aux Abattoirs de la Villette’s critical review based on Bataille’s conceptions of formless and sacrifices. The second chapter analyses the authorship conferred to the photomontages carried out by E.L.T. Mesens in Variétés (1930), who accentuates the similarities between the photographic and the slaughter cutting operations, and by Carlo Rim in Vu (1931), who reveals the human dimension of La Villette’s industry. The third chapter focuses on Lotar’s social preoccupations by according an importance to his collaborations with Germaine Krull and Joris Ivens. Finally, the series is addressed in an "intermediatic" perspective to emphasize the photographic point of view by comparing it with the painting Abattoir by André Masson, the poem Porte Brancion by Raymond Queneau and the film Le sang des bêtes by George Franju.
