A non-dialectic is needed in this context, since Blanchot works with the idea that death and the act of making literature cannot exclude suicide which, as shown in the paper, also works in the heteronomy of passivity. Writing, therefore, comes to be understood as a ruined thought, a non-ontological approach to responsibility, but haunted, since its origin, by its hantology. |
