The Acid Horizon crew are once again joined by Bataille scholar and translator Stuart Kendall to discuss his writings on General Economy, Waste, and Sustainability in the era of climate crisis. How is our ecologically destructive mode of production complimented by a capitalist mode of consumption? Is luxury antithetical to sustainable society? And how do we make more of waste in a world where the dominant tendencies of production aim at an infinite extraction of value? Join us as we investigate how the economic works of Georges Bataille can direct us away from planetary catastrophe, towards sustainable, even glorious, new modes of consumption. Featured in the discussion: Bataille, Kojève, Blanchot, Deleuze, Nancy, and Junger.
