Acéphale by Georges Bataille
A dense, provocative set of essays and manifestos from a clandestine circle that rejects modern rationalism and utilitarian society in favor of a politics of the sacred, sacrifice and sovereign interiority; using surreal, Nietzschean and occult imagery—most famously the headless figure—it advances ritual, transgression and eroticism as means to confront death, negate bourgeois values, and remake communal and individual life beyond conformity and productive utility.
