Post-Print from HAL Abstract: The development of psychosocial disorders in organizations, sometimes resulting in work-related suicide, has lately given rise to a spate of publications, analyses and recommendations (often in official reports) and to decisions both contractual and statutory.Could their limitations be overcome by referring to the works of the French writer Georges Bataille (1897-1962)? His anthropological notions of ‘expense', ‘sovereignty' and ‘communication' are used in this paper to rethink ‘psychosocial risks' and to suggest ways of management which respect the humanity of the working-man.
