Abstract
Resumen: Arte y transgresión son inseparables en el pensamiento de Georges Bataille. Con un singular enfoque antropológico, el autor de la Suma Ateológica publicó en 1955 dos libros que conviene leer a la par: "Lascaux o el nacimiento del arte" y su monografía dedicada a Édouard Manet. A partir de los escándalos causados por este pintor en su época, Bataille desarrolló una reflexión sobre el arte y lo animal cuya cifra sería lo que él llamaba "una risa inmensa", risa soberana que ilumina el lugar del arte para el homo sapiens en el fecundo espacio de lo imposible, en el lugar virtual de un no-saber.
Abstract: Art and transgression are inseparable in Georges Bataille's thought. With a singular anthropological approach, the author of the Summa Atheologica published two books in 1955 that should be read together: "Lascaux or the Birth of Art" and his monograph on Édouard Manet. On the basis of the scandals caused by this painter in his time, Bataille developed a reflection on art and the animal whose figure would be what he called ‘an immense laughter’, a sovereign laughter that illuminates the place of art for homo sapiens in the fertile space of the impossible, in the virtual place of a non-knowledge.
