This collection of writings by Jean-Luc Nancy, the renowned French
critic and poet, delves into the history of philosophy to locate a
fundamentally poetic modus operandi there. The book represents a
daring mixture of Nancy's philosophical essays, writings about
artworks, and artwork of his own. With theoretical rigor, Nancy
elaborates on the intrinsic multiplicity of art as a concept of
"making," and outlines the tensions inherent in the faire, the
"making" that characterizes the very process of production and
thereby the structure of poetry in all its forms. Nancy shows that
this multiplication that belongs to the notion of art makes every
single work communicate with every other, all material in the
artwork appeal to some other material, and art the singular plural
of a praxis of the finite imparting of an infinity which is
actually there in every utterance. In the collection, Nancy engages
with the work of, among others, François Martin, Maurice Blanchot,
and On Kawara.
