Play, Sovereignty, and the Refusal of Work: Bataille’s Challenge to Modern Thought

In this monologue, we reflect on Georges Bataille’s essay “Are We Here to Play or Be Serious?”—recorded off-grid during a spring power outage! The discussion explores Bataille’s critique of work, the concept of sovereignty, and the political and metaphysical stakes of play as a form of resistance. Through readings of potlatch, sacrificial war, and riddle-solving, Sereptie examines Bataille’s call for thought to reconnect with its tragic, sovereign origins. This episode charts a path from the refusal of utility toward a ludic theory of revolution.
