It is important to note that Bataille does not simply champion excess over utility, or sacrifice above production, that is, he does not simply invert the values of rationalist, utilitarian thought. For Bataille, the sys- tem of production could not function without its periodic suspension, nor could wealth be expended sacrificially if it were not first accumulated. Further, the demarcation between the two spheres – sacred and profane, sacrificial and economic, heterogeneous and homogeneous – is vital for society because the marking of limits enables transgressive experience (such as festivity) to take place, as well as drawing the boundaries that construct and protect order. Without such limits there is neither order nor disorder.
