Abstract

The article stresses the relevance of Bataille in Deleuze and Guattari’s (D-G) Anti-Oedipus(AE), to show the debt or affiliation between the notion of “improductive expenditure” and that of “desiring production”. Framming the sense of the former in a general economy, afinities between such thinking and the project of D-G in AE are shown, having in sight a certain reading of the marxian thesis of the identity between man and nature. Conclussions are drawn upon possibles reinscriptions that Bataille and D-G’s works may have in the history of marxism and contemporary thought.

Keywords:

improductive expenditure, general economy, Anti-Oedipus, desiring production, materialism
