Since his death in 1962, Georges Bataille has acquired the status of one of the most influential thinkers of the age. The fact that this reputation has been established by the likes of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva and Philippe Sollers appears to confirm Bataille as a precursor of the postmodernist condition. Few contemporary accounts of Bataille's thought have however engaged with those aspects of his thinking which are influenced by his interest in mysticism. This is an omission which is all the more striking given that Bataille considered his thought to be not only opposite to all philosophical traditions originating in the Enlightenment but also a form of speculation intricately related to the religious exigencies of the Christian Medieval period. This book presents the first major study in English of how Bataille's 'mystical' practices and texts interact with the outer worlds of politics, social relations and externalised discourse which Bataille sets up as the antipodes of his 'inner experience.' From this starting point, Andrew Hussey argues that the inner experience of limits in Bataille's work, the movement which he terms 'transgression', is, unlike the textual drams cherished by his postmodernist admirers, a non-metaphorical, even visceral event.

Voorbij de welvarende centra van de Franse steden, in de afgezette banlieues, is een oorlog gaande tussen de Franse staat en de voormalige onderdanen van het koloniale rijk. Voor hen klinkt het mantra 'vrijheid, gelijkheid, broederschap' als een bittere geschiedenis van overheersing, onderdrukking en wreedheid. Andrew Hussey schetst met humoristische vakkundigheid een compleet nieuw portret van een oude natie. Hij verheldert het complexe verhaal van de verhoudingen tussen het seculiere, republikeinse Frankrijk en de moslimwereld van Noord-Afrika tegen de achtergrond van de Arabische Lente.

The postwar histories of Paris and Amsterdam have been significantly defined by the notion of the "underground" as both a material and metaphorical space. Examining the underground traffic between the two cities, this book interrogates the countercultural histories of Paris and Amsterdam in the mid to late-twentieth century. Shuttling between Paris and Amsterdam, as well as between postwar avant-gardism and twenty-first century global urbanism, this interdisciplinary book seeks to create a mirroring effect over the notion of the underground as a driving force in the making of the contemporary European city. De naoorlogse geschiedenis van Parijs en Amsterdam wordt sterk gedefinieerd door underground culturen, zowel in fysieke als in metaforische zin. Dit boek bekijkt de culturele uitwisseling tussen beide steden en onderzoekt de geschiedenis van tegencultuur in Parijs en Amsterdam in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw. Door steeds heen en weer te schakelen tussen Parijs en Amsterdam, en door de spanning tussen naoorlogs avant-gardisme en de kosmopolitische stad van de eenentwintigste eeuw in kaart te brengen, weerspiegelt dit boek de drijvende kracht van de culturele underground in de grote steden van hedendaags Europa.
