dc.description.abstractIn the past decade, the writings of George Bataille have become increasingly influential in spheres such as literary criticism, philosophy and economic theory. One particular strain of his work which has gained influence in recent times, is his theory of excess, which he calls the "general economy". In this dissertation, I wish to apply certain aspects of this concept to consumer Capitalism. In particular, I wish to examine Bataille's notion of "heterogeneity" and its relevance in contemporary Western society.en_ZA
