We consider Bataille’s œuvre as it provides us with a key to the general economy which lies at the root of sovereign behaviours. By following what attracts him or her, the human can access the affirmation of sovereignty in which the cursed element is converted into the communication of a vital exuberance. This unheard of, rational conception of expenditure introduces us to a new mode of knowledge.
