Nietzsche 2/13: Bataille

[@evanjack958]

Everytime I come back to this video every few months I understand more and more and see more of the smaller details. I remember watching this for the first time in the summer of 2020

Shocked that a lecture series devoted to readers of Nietzsche couldn't find space for a session on Klossowski

[@etreoreste5775]

Actually, they could and should devoted some time on Klossowski in this conference on Bataille, since these two figures are very closely associated. The problem of having an entire session on Klossowski is that, in my opinion, either there aren't much scholars out there are "specialized" in Klossowski (though I believe Hollier should be very familiar with Klossowski) or that the discussion on Klossowski's Nietzsche will Inevitable turn itself into a vicious circle: the discussion on "eternal return" - one of the most overly discussed invention by Nietzsche. I believe the best way is to put Klossowski in context with Bataille, focusing on the reason for their unique interest in Nietzsche's writing during the great war.

[@janllh24]

Perhaps, though I maybe Deleuze would be a more appropriate site to locate Klossowski; especially since the latter would disown his early writings on Nietzsche in favour of the reading he'd develop in parallel to Deleuze's. I've read that Klossowski and Bataille were somewhat unsympathetic to their respective postwar intellectual trajectories.

this was great, I hope there is a discussion on Artaud soon

[@olliewargoat219]

What Holler should have said was "Bataille's relationship IN Nietzsche". Nick Land's Thirst for Annihilation is the greatest work to achieve exactly what Bataille's book on/with Nietzsche. Not a work ON Bataille/Nietzsche but a work as/in complete communion with Bataille/Nietzsche

[@etreoreste5775]

That was Land's first book, and his best vision. After which it all went downhill, just my opinion.

Bataille, Nietzsche, and Heidegger ... I'm there !!!

[@ians.mozdzen3012]

In Guilty and in Unfinished System Bataille talks directly to me (us). Like a lightning bolt. Anyone else experience this? Bataille is a Fakir. A Mystic. Like Artaud. It illuminates without.

Besides KOOLHAAS, what other architect Vidler mentions?

'detumescence' ... man needs a state of play - if not propelled and invigorated toward the good, the cesspool of rot will creep in and we will follow any belligerently toxic fool

[@fluxnfiction5559]

so am I supposed to understand anything?

[@ians.mozdzen3012]

Good lord. Why come to a lecture and then say such a thing. Assume others have a life outside of your own.

[@LethalBubbles]

tldr; "nazis are bad and got nietzsche wrong. Here is the background of some of arguments people have previously used to illustrate this point and clarifications of some of the teachings"

[@robnaugle4149]

Yeah a lot of this is impenetrable. Frankly I get the feeling that you need to huff quite a few of your own farts to "understand" a lot of this ideologically driven commentary.

@@thelasttruegamer i dont remember the context. But i guess the religion that turns you into a superhuman and shit and it is such a difficult task to follow and still respect the individual aspect of each human being is catolicism. In some sense of its ascetism it could be called i guess

Why is he pronouncing it like "niche"?! That irritates me so badly! I just looked up more sources despite having a German mother and asking others/the internet how to pronounce it a hundred times before, just to make sure I wasn't being a dumbass again, and no!! It is NOT pronounced like how Bernard says it, at all!

She did it too!!!! WHY??!!! Okay done with this I have plenty to read on him as it is. Everything is absurd!

french pronoucian I think. Kinda like how you can say the name of the car, 'Porche' as "Portia" or "Porsh"
