<nettime> Blanchot's Legacy |
What can one say about Blonchot? Nowhere are the difficulties of communication, the impossibility of community, more thoroughly present -- and confronted -- than in his writings. Well, McKenzie, one can get his name right for a start. How sad to be one of the most insightful writers of the 20th century whose legacy will be among some of the more productive writings (even in digitil cultuer) of the 21st Century - his work inflected the approach of some of the more productive takes on Internet - whose death is announced with a spelling mistake of his name. Perhaps Nettimers should become familiar with the work of Maurice Blanchot and perhaps then they wouldn't have such difficulty with the notions of sex and desire. Blanchot is best loved for combining the critical and artistic forms of discourse. search Maurice Blanchot. http://www.google.ca/search?q=Maurice+Blanchot&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Nettime seems to have become a list for reposting political news and events already published elsewhere.
