https://doi.org/10.4467/23538953CE.18.027.9975Nietzsche is one of those philosophers and thinkers – or even the philosopher, the thinker – who had the most inspiring influence upon Georges Bataille’s way of thinking as well as his existential choices. Among many Nietzschean concepts that are tenaciously present in Bataille’s work one – namely the Death of God – seems to be particularly persistent. This article aims to analyze some of representations of the dead God, the divine cadaver, in both religious and ideological sense in two of Bataille’s novels written before World War II: Story of the Eye and Blue of Noon.

https://doi.org/10.4467/23538953CE.16.025.6723Most of the critics in their studies dedicated to Laure (Colette Peignot), French author dead in 1938 and published posthumously, claim that her biography and her writings are inseparable and, moreover, try to defend one legitimate vision of her life and work. However, this allegedly true image appeares to be made up of many personal opinions, judgements and anecdotes, coming essentially from men who were closely attached to Laure and who, not on rare occasions, used it for their own purposes. Thus, the aim of this paper is to examine how Boris Souvarine, Georges Bataille and a few other authors elaborated Laure’s mythology and dictated for decades the reception of her writings.
