In these two essays, two of the most important French thinkers of our time reflect on each other's work. In so doing, novelist/essayist Maurice Blanchot and philosopher Michel Foucault develop a new perspective on the relationship between subjectivity, fiction, and the will to truth. The two texts present reflections on writing, language, and representation which question the status of the author/subject and explore the notion of a "neutral" voice that arises from the realm of the "outside." This book is crucial not only to an understanding of these two thinkers, but also to any overview of recent French thought.Michel Foucault (1927-1984) was the holder of a chair at the College de France. Among his works are Madness and Civilization, The Order of Things, Discipline and Punish, and The History of Sexuality Maurice Blanchot, born in 1907, is a novelist and critic. His works include Death Sentence, Thomas the Obscure, and The Space of Literature. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I asked aloud last week, what the hell is so special about Blanchot? Of course, I had read so little, just some wartime book reviews he penned for a newspaper. Still I saw reverence for him everywhere, across seventy years of European thought.
I imagined that this tome --where Foucault and Blanchot reflect on the other-- would afford me some perspective. It did. Unfortunately, Foucault talks about Blanchot the novelist, where I have no experience nor immediate access. There are references to darkened hallways, locked anterooms, foggy boardinghouses -- all of it fascinating, but alas. There is also a suspicious lack of politics.
Blanchot provides a gleaming tribute to Foucault's career and accomplishments. As with most of these encounters between thinkers, I only long for more. ( )
