According to Georges Bataille a swarm suggests a potential of transgression and excess, i.e. dynamics, in contrast with the economy of the division of labour. Cf.

Translator's note: the German word family of ‘Schwarm’ (swarm) includes terms with figurative meanings that have no equivalents in the English word family of ‘swarm’. ‘Schwärmen’ means ‘to swarm’, but in the figurative sense ‘to enthuse, to go into raptures, to be wild about sth./so.’ ‘Schwärmerei’ means ‘enthusiasm, effusion, passion, rapture’ and ‘Schwärmer/Schwärmerin’ means ‘enthusiast, zealot’ (NB: this is no exhaustive list of translations, but an approximation for reference). As there is no etymological link between ‘swarm/ing’ and ‘enthusiasm’ or ‘enthusing’ in English, the relevant German terms are kept in the text to lend transparency to the argument. 19.
