Collaborator with Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois, Pierre Klossowski and Jean Wahl on second edition of Acephale. Also co-founded the College of Sociology with Bataille in 1938, claiming subsequently to have been its main instigator. In fact as Surya reports, Bataille and Monnerot had quite different intentions and quickly fell out over the groups purpose. They seemed to have remained in contact. Bataille critically commended Jule's Monnerot's work "les faits sociaux ne sont pas des choses" in 'The moral meaning of sociology' - published in Critique (itself founded by Monnerot) June 1946. Review republished in ed. Richardson 1994.

After the war Monnerot became increasingly right-wing and anti-communist and at the end of his life involved in the Front National. Does this reflect an elitism that can be found in Caillois?
