Police Actions in Aesthetics
This essay addresses Jacques Rancière’s attempt to critique notions of resistance invoked by Jean-François Lyotard and Gilles Deleuze. It focuses in particular on Rancière’s efforts to contain Deleuze within a shallow account of the aesthetic tradition of the past two centuries and to disqualify a post-Heideggerian thought of difference in philosophy of art. It ultimately takes issue with Rancière’s effort to police the function of modern art
The Exigency of the Figure
The Exigency of the Figure Christopher Fynsk I take my point of departure from an issue I have raised in a reading of Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's Phrase that involves what might seem a rather minor difference of interpretation, almost a technical matter.1 I believe, however, that it goes to the heart of Lacoue-Labarthe's concern with the question of literature and might allow an approach to some core dimensions of the practice of writing through w…
Thinking (in) Europe
Thinking (in) EuropeAn Indirect Question for Rodolphe Gasché Christopher Fynsk (bio) I would like to take my point of departure for these few pages from a sentiment regarding Europe that has accompanied me for over three decades of study and professional life. A sentiment, an inclination . . . actually, I hesitate over its designation. Is it perhaps a mere prejudice that I have learned in the course of my studies, an unfounded bias that I would h…
Blanchot in The International Review
This essay contains a consideration of Maurice Blanchot's contribution to the collective project that came to be known as The International Review. It focuses on Blanchot's insistence that the project be collective and international, and pursues Blanchot's effort to provide a thought of the fragmentary that will answer these imperatives. With special attention to the question of literature, the essay concludes with a consideration of Blanchot's o…

L'Irreconciliable
FOR REASONS I BEGIN TO APPROACH IN THE FIRST SECTION OF THIS PAPER, MY remarks on L'Intrus have remained partially fragmentary. Respecting this experience of reading, I present three separate paths of questioning: three "tacks" toward what calls for thought in Nancy's astonishing work
Linguistic Turn
Jean-Francois's Infancy
A note on language and the body
The Claim of History
Let us presume that Benjamin's parentheses acknowledge in some manner the profound differences between the whose essences lack the historic index proper to the dialectical image and the phenomenology within which Heidegger elaborated his notion of historicity (and if they do not, Benjamin's assertion requires too much qualification to bear interpretive development). Would Benjamin be correct in arguing that the experience of finitude Heidegger de…

The Self and Its Witness; On Heidegger's Being and Time
When Heidegger argues in and Time that Being-with [Mitsein] is constitutive for Dasein, he breaks with a tradition that begins its inquiry concerning man by posing an isolated subject. with Heidegger writes, belongs to the of Dasein, which is an issue for Dasein in its very Being (BT, 161).1 The existential analytic does not first pose the individual Dasein as given and then proceed to construct its relation to others and to the surrounding world…
