| - | :In ‘The notion of [[expenditure]]’ [[Georges Bataille]] concentrates on the more [[destructive]] expressions of [[potlatch]], specifically ‘non-productive expenditure’- the type of ‘Killing wealth’ only rarely experienced these days. For instance, the [[KLF]]’s burning of a million pounds or [[Ryoei Saito]]’s [[cremation]] of 160 million dollars of [[fine art]]. For Bataille, ‘[[sumptuary]] moments’ are revolutionary in themselves, purely because they are the antithesis of [[use]]. [[Games]], [[war]], [[spectacle]], [[art]], [[non-reproductive sex]], all challenge the [[tyranny]] of [[utility]]. They ‘represent activities which, at least in primitive circumstances, have no end beyond themselves’ (Bataille, 2004, p118). Later he spins off on a more [[Nietzschean]] tact, extending the metaphor to [[genocide]] and the destruction of a whole class- the power elite potlatch.[http://hauntedgeographies.typepad.com/basho/2007/01/index.html] | ||
