{"product_id":"the-disavowed-community-jean-luc-nancy-9780823273850","title":"The Disavowed Community","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Luc Nancy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823273857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823273850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017","brand":"Jean-Luc Nancy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980628001023,"sku":"9780823273850","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_972ae4b1-9d0c-42f4-818d-a0b6463becf8.jpg?v=1683250998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-disavowed-community-jean-luc-nancy-9780823273850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
