The College of Sociology (1937-39) is a book that compiles the writings and lectures from a French intellectual group led by Georges Bataille, Denis Hollier, and others, who met to explore the “sacred” in society, contrasting with Surrealism’s individualism. The book, edited by Denis Hollier, features essays by Bataille and his contemporaries on topics like myth, ritual, and the sacred, aiming to create a “sacred sociology” to counter modern anomie and the rise of fascism. It’s a key text in French theory, blending philosophy, anthropology, and sociology.
