L'Intrigue denouee. Mythe, litterature et communaute dans la pensee de Jean-Luc Nancy

Cet ouvrage est la premiere etude systematique du rapport entre communaute et litterature dans la pensee de Jean-Luc Nancy. L'auteure developpe la these originale que cette relation doit etre comprise comme une refonte du mythe. Traversant l' uvre de Nancy dans son integralite, elle demontre de facon incomparable comment s'articulent les questions centrales de la communaute et de la litterature. De plus, en faisant ce lien en termes de mythe , ce livre situe l' uvre de Nancy dans une tradition plus large, allant du romantisme allemand aux theories contemporaines de la pertinence sociale de la litterature. This is the first book to provide a systematic investigation of the relation between community and literature in the work of Jean-Luc Nancy. It develops the original claim that this relation has to be understood as a rethinking of myth. Traversing the entirety of Nancy's vast oeuvre, the author offers an incomparable account of the ways in which Nancy's central questions of community and literature are linked together. Moreover, by putting this linkage in terms of 'myth', this book situates Nancy's work within a larger tradition, leading from German Romanticism to contemporary theories of the social relevance of literature.
