{"product_id":"the-disavowed-community","title":"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.","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54012917743960,"sku":null,"price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780823273850_7a996d29-832f-4f01-8786-b228186cafc3.jpg?v=1778907682","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-disavowed-community","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
