Georges Duthuit selected a few texts of the College of Sociology and
of Acephale, which were published in the last issue of the surrealist review
VVV, No. 4, 1944, under the title {Vers un nouveau Mythe? Prémonitions et
défiances}. The known list of members of the Acephale was: Georges
Bataille, Colette Peignot (Laure), Georges Ambrosino, Pierre Andler
(pseudonym of Pierre Dugan), Jacques Chavy, Rene Chenon, George
Dussat, Jean Rollin, Pierre or Imre Keleman, Patrick and Isabelle Waldberg,
Roger Callois, Pierre Klossowski, Jean Dautry, Henry Dubief, Jules
Monneret, Pierre Leiris, Andre Masson, etc. For English accounts of these
questions, see the six issues of {Transition} 1948, 49 and 50. Sartre Bataille
and Fouchet were on the editorial board.
The group of Acephale, however, did not die entirely at the beginning
of the war. A second group called Acephale 2 was established in Paris
during the events of May68. This second Acephale was even more secretive
than the first and was only alluded to by the Sado-Masochistic fringe on the
Internet. Andrew L. Wilson wrote in {Exquisite Corpse}, Cyber Corpse #7:
" Acephale 2 was begun in Paris during the late sixties by a small group of
disgruntle anthropologists from the Sorbonne inspired by the writings of
Georges Bataille and Antonin Artaud and also by the films of Jean-Luc
Godard, especially "Pierrot le Fou" and "Weekend." Unlike the original
Acephale, which was begun during (sic) the second World War by Georges
Bataille and the artist Andre Masson, but quickly disbanded before putting
into practice any of rather excessive philosophies. Acephale 2 actually does
conduct human sacrifice! They started by drawing lots and impaling the
loser in the Bois de Boulogne by moonlight, then cutting out his heart and
dousing themselves with the blood. But it was soon decided that in order to
be truly authentic, they must sacrifice beautiful virgins. As Acephale 2 grew
from about a dozen members to over fifty, it attracted intellectuals from all
over the world, especially from Japan. (There does exist a Webb site
Acephale Japan.) Sometimes during the late seventies, after several members
complained about the Grand-Gignol aspect of the rites -- perhaps the
Japanese were more squeamish than their French colleges eh? -- Acephale 2
began to conduct a different type of sacrifice, namely, of a young woman,
who is either paid or forced by blackmail or by some form of brainwashing,
whether hypnosis or drugs (alas, this aspect I have not yet determined) to
