{"product_id":"9780823273867","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.","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111039582448,"sku":"9780823273867","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780823273867_p0.jpg?v=1763753586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780823273867","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
