College of Sociology

The College of Sociology was an intellectual community founded in 1937 in France by prominent thinkers like Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris. Its purpose was to explore and challenge traditional academic approaches by fostering free, unconventional discussions on topics such as society, art, and philosophy. The College aimed to break down disciplinary boundaries, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and innovative thinking. Although it was short-lived, the College influenced cultural and philosophical debates, emphasizing creativity, individual expression, and the importance of subjective experience in understanding human society and culture.
