Re: I've been shut out at artforum
I did read the introduction and the conclusion of Formless by the way, and I'm glad I did. On the issue of sacred and profane, however, I will point out that while Bataille's perspective is sound, it nonetheless is devoid of the second birth notion. Not that that is therefore an error on Bataille's part, more just a distinction that can(/must?) be made between Bataille and Eliade (for example). Also, I got a hint of reasoning that Bataille envisioned an uncanny sameness(?) or reciprocity(?) between extreme 'profane' and extreme 'sacred'--I like to think it's because when something gets very extreme (in either 'direction') it's the extreme-ness itself that becomes the overriding issue.
