So we'll release a new Concepts in Focus episode soon on Hegel (featuring Adam on the mic).  Our next show continues our conversation on uses of Nietzsche in political philosophy.  However, after that we will finally do our episode on Bataille, nonproductive expenditure, and the Acephale papers. 

In case you were wondering, we will read "Nonproductive Expenditure" from Visions of Excess as our base reading. We are taking into consideration more than that, however, by reading about Acephale and Bataille's association with Breton and the surrealists.

By the way, the design above has been added to my collection, and you can turn that into apparel or whatever else is available in the webstore. I think it's kind of hilarious that you could get a Bataille themed cooking apron: https://www.redbubble.com/i/apron/Story-of-the-Eye-Georges-Bataille-by-AcidHorizon/55726158.6ZXWR

Take care,

Can you post a link or summary of the work for the upcoming Bataille episode?

"Nonproductive Expenditure" is short and it's in *Visions of Excess*. I'm sure the PDF is lying around 'somewhere'.

Thanks, is it also called "The Notion of Expenditure" or is that different?

Not to be a nuisance, sorry. The only reference to "Nonproductive Expenditure" in *Visions of Excess: Selected Writings, 1927-1939* is under the section "The Notion of Expenditure".
