Abstract
This article presents violence in the works of Georges Bataille. The main argument is that Bataille’s violence is not physical violence; his violence has nothing to do with the consolidation of the authority of modern state and the transformation of modern state such as war, massacre, and revolution, and so on. Bataille’s violence nonetheless is about the changing of human subject. But antecedent to the change in terms of human subject, they need to encounter with pain and depression caused by modern society and modern state. Thus, in order to understand violence in this dimension, it is necessary to grasp with other concepts of Bataille such as ‘Hole’, ‘Inner Experience’, ‘Chance’, and ‘Heterology’.
