It’s from the lecture of Documents magazine, that we are interested in reading several texts by Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris that configure certain unsubmissive materialism. Documents intended to put into contact culture with base material, knowing that matter is not conceived with any ideal form. This intention is taken to its maximum expression by Bataille and Leiris who, from certain materialism that attacks Hegelian idealism and mechanistic materialism, dirty the senses adjudicated to the human and the culture. In the first section, we develop our bet in documenting the matter (the most important being the unformed images and the entrance of a critical dictionary); in a second section we consider a certain disproportion and base on the trace of unsubmissive materialism; in a third section, we focus on detours of anthropomorphism and delayering of human (in the game of metamorphoses and metaphors). Finally, we point out how Bataille and Leiris, in Documents, opened another materialist tradition and gave clues to think about the unsubmissive fold between material/image/language, questioning humanism. A partir de la revista Documents (1929-1930) nos interesa abordar una serie de textos de Georges Bataille y Michel Leiris que señalan hacia la configuración de un materialismo insumiso. Documents pretendía poner en contacto a la cultura con la materia baja, a sabiendas que ésta no se condice con ninguna forma ideal. Esta pretensión es llevada a su máxima expresión por Bataille y Leiris que, desde un materialismo que arremete tanto contra el idealismo hegeliano como contra el materialismo mecanicista, ensucian los sentidos adjudicados a lo humano y la cultura. Así, en el primer apartado desarrollamos la apuesta por documentar la materia (cobrando centralidad lo informe en las imágenes y entradas de un diccionario crítico); en el segundo apartado consideramos la desproporción y lo bajo en el trazado del materialismo insumiso; en el tercer apartado nos abocamos a los desvíos del antropomorfismo y la desjerarquización de lo humano (en el juego de metamorfosis y metáforas que abren y exponen la materia en lo humano). Por último, señalamos cómo Bataille y Leiris en Documents tejen otra tradición materialista y dan pistas para pensar el pliegue insumiso entre materia/imagen/lenguaje problematizando el humanismo.
