Research title
The Non-Logical Difference: dialectics in the intellectual experience of Georges Bataille
Research abstract

The research seeks to investigate the intellectual
experience of Georges Bataille based on a discussion about the status of dialectics in his philosophy. It would be necessary to investigate not only its relationship with Hegelian dialectics, but also the influence of the reception of Hegelianism on the French philosophical debate.
A problem considered minor by most of its interpreters and commentators, generally influenced by the position of canonical commentaries, originating from a historically determined reception, or guided by a series of commented traditions that are as fragmented as the methodologies and assumptions taken as the basis for their approach to the work by Bataille.
From this perspective, the starting point is the recovery of the reflective potential offered by Jacques Derrida's essay (From restricted economy to general economy: an unreserved Hegelianism) and by the seminars, later organized into a book, by Georges Didi-Huberman (Formless similarity or gay visual knowledge according to Georges Bataille), in order to not only rescue the potential of their reflections, but also, on the other hand, to tension them by questioning their respective positions.
