«El erotismo» is the philosophical essay by Georges Bataille, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In the prologue, Bataille notes that human beings feel dread before their own erotic movements. The essay opposes that animality or sexual exuberance to work, an activity through which humanity tends to reify itself, and presents it as what prevents reducing the individual to a thing.
It belongs to the Marginales collection, volume 61. The essay was originally published in 1957 as L'Erotisme.
