These articles gradually outline a practical project that both
looks back to the radical artistic doctrines of the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries and anticipates the most original
developments in the postwar era, among writers such as
Robbe-Grillet, Butor, Sarraute, and Duras, not to mention Blanchot
himself. In addition Blanchot is receptive in his weekly column to
the extraordinarily wide range of original writing and thinking
that was produced during the dark years of occupation, in areas
such as psychology, anthropology, ancient history, linguistics, and
philosophy. A highly original doctrine of writing can be seen to
develop in which, thanks to the desperate clarity with which
Blanchot's mind accepts and advances into what he sees as absolute
and irrevocable disaster, thought is carefully and systematically
deflected away from any sort of nihilism, thanks to a new
relationship between reason, with its unitary subject, and the
otherness to which imagination offers access.
