Abstract
- The authors comment on Mayfair Mei-hui Yang's article on economic hybridity, ritual expenditures and Georges Bataille's concept of "general economy." They present queries about the models presented focusing on the Yang's sources of theoretical inspiration and not her use of them. They question whether Bataille's vision of capitalism is not itself caught in capitalism's self-mythologization as a desacralized and productivist space and worry about the slippage between the linguistic and the biological notion of hybridity.
