Todd McGowan on Bataille, Pure Excess, Superego and Nihilism

Описание: Todd McGowan is here for his first ever appearance on The Dangerous Maybe! In this conversation with Nance and I, Todd shares his thoughts on his concept of pure excess and how it relates to Georges Bataille's concept of the accursed share. We also discuss the connection between the superego and nihilism. To conclude, Todd tells us what some of his favorite films in the Criterion Collection are. Enjoy . . . or don't. The choice is yours.
