조르주 바타유의 관점에서 본 비정형과 불가능의 미학

One of the concepts characterizing the thoughts of Georges Bataille (1897-1962) is violation, which can be pushed to the point of loss of meaning and loss of knowledge, allowing the realization of self-loss. This paper posits that Bataille’s graphic notion of formless (informe in French) means heterogeneity due to the violation of taboos. This paper also relates Bataille’s impossible to the fate of formless in its pursuit of the destruction of its identity. In the final chapter of this paper, we examine a violating and unpredictable parafiction strategy in contemporary art from the perspective of formless and impossible. This is an attempt to reflect on the aesthetic meanings of formless through Bataille’s reasons and infer positive value from the impossible. This paper aims to refresh the understanding of Bataille’s formless and use the concept of impossible in reevaluating the limited perspective taken up by contemporary art when it starts to use formless.
