6 In both works, virility is an important preoccupation, as it is in Bataille’s political essays of the 1930s and in Le bleu du ciel, where the sexual and political imbrications of that word are explored with particular acuity. Being Troppmann, or How not to lose your head in thenoonday sun The narrator of Le bleu du ciel, despite the plethora promised by his name, is suffering from a generalized impotence; it is as if the crisis he is undergoing, at once political and sexual, had ironically transformed him into ‘Trop-peu-mann’, not enough of a man.
Because ‘total existence’ remained fairly and squarely the impossible aim of the Contre-Attaque militant who no more intended to join up with the project and sacrifice the present for some predetermined future than before. Sartre himself sometimes acted in bad faith… Whatever the case may be, it is undeniable that Bataille refused to let the theme of Sartrian engagement be imposed upon him. He did not want his often stormy interventions in pre-war history to be interpreted as a way for the intellectual to pay for justice or freedom with his own soul.
I will argue that as the decade moved toward its disastrous close, Bataille’s thinking about politics and action turned increasingly inward; and that, rather than constituting a major break in his thought, this inward turn—culminating in the publication of L’expérience intérieure in 1943—offered a solution, albeit a paradoxical one, to the ‘outward’ questions of politics and action that had preoccupied him throughout the 1930s. As to what this has to do with virility—wait and see. 1 In this early note for his Passagen-Werk, Benjamin celebrated the street as the home of the crowd, ‘eternally restless, eternally moving’, where the proletariat might ‘awake’ to itself as a revolutionary subject.
