Over thirty years after Maurice Blanchot writes The Unavowable
Community (1983)—a book that offered a critical response to an
early essay by Jean-Luc Nancy on “the inoperative
community”—Nancy responds in turn with The Disavowed Community.
Stemming from Jean-Christophe Bailly’s initial proposal to think
community in terms of “number” or the “numerous,” and
unfolding as a close reading of Blanchot’s text, Nancy’s new
book addresses a range of themes and motifs that mark both his
proximity to and distance from Blanchot’s thinking, from
Bataille’s “community of lovers” to the relation between
community, communitarianism, and being-in-common; to Marguerite
Duras, to the Eucharist. A key rethinking of politics and the
political, this exchange opens up a new understanding of community
played out as a question of avowal.
