La communauté déplacée. Écriture et communauté dans le dialogue entre Maurice Blanchot et Jean-Luc Nancy.

Abstract

With their texts The Inoperative Community and The Unavowable Community, JeanLuc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot started in the 80s a dialogue whose central object was the theme of the community. In this dialogue, however, not only Nancy and Blanchot were involved: both of them recognized themselves as heirs of a reflection that had begun, with different nuances and at different times, Nietzsche and Bataille. Several decades later, in La communauté désavouée, Nancy returns to the debate that had him as a protagonist in the eighties: how far did Blanchot pretend to go with the arguments that he opposed against Nancy’s own text? Based on this question, which begins one of the sections of Nancy’s last essay, the work intends to resume this debate in order to rethink the link between writing and community.
