Alentado por algunos de aquellos vínculos, lee a Mauss y Durkheim, Nietzsche y Freud y, comienza a delinear un pensamiento que se plasmará en la creación de Documents. Resulta difícil comprender la relevancia de esta revista y la producción batailleana sin referir a sus primeras lecturas y al debate que tempranamente entabló con el máximo exponente del movimiento surrealista, Breton. Bataille coordinó allí un grupo de disidentes y convirtió la publicación en una máquina contra el surrealismo. El presente artículo desarrolla la formación de Bataille para hacer hincapié en la categoría de bajo materialismo construida en tensión entre el idealismo surrealista y los distintos materialismos. Así puede verse que Documents y el bajo materialismo conjugan las preocupaciones que perseguirá toda su vida.Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales2015-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/4538310.1016/S0185-1918(15)72134-3Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 No. 223 (2015): Dossier: Dimensiones de la desigualdadRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 Núm. 223 (2015): Dossier: Dimensiones de la desigualdadRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 No. 223 (2015): Dossier: Dimensiones de la desigualdad2448-492X0185-1918reponame:Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Socialesinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/45383/40860info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/453832024-08-16T19:53:49Z
