Michael Richardson, "The Absence of Myth: Writings on Surrealism"
English | 2006 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 1844675602, 0860914194 | PDF | 5,3 mb
For Bataille, the absence of myth had itself become the myth of the modern age. In a world that had lost the secret of its cohesion, Bataille saw surrealism as both a symptom and a beginning of an attempt to address this loss. His writings on this theme are the result of a profound reflection in the wake of World War Two.
