In The Eroticization of Distance: Nietzsche, Blanchot and the
Legacy of Courtly Love, Joseph D. Kuzma explores the significance
of courtly erotic themes in Friedrich Nietzsche's mature philosophy
and in Maurice Blanchot's writings of the 1940s and early 1950s.
Rather than offering an account of erotic relationality that
prioritizes reconciliation, fulfillment, or release, Nietzsche
attempts to formulate a nonteleological eroticism that aims at
nothing but the perpetual intensification of desire. Kuzma suggests
that it is Blanchot who carries Nietzsche's courtly erotic
tendencies to their most provocative point, by highlighting
potentials for intimate relationality that might be established
through a shared experience of dispossession and loss. This first
monograph to engage specifically with the theme of eroticism in
Blanchot's writings will be of interest not only to students and
scholars of Nietzsche, Blanchot, or French philosophy, but also
anyone interested in the philosophy of sexuality, the history of
love, theories of the emotions, or nineteenth and twentieth-century
European thought more generally.
