Sommario/riassunto

Over 30 years after Maurice Blanchot writes 'The Unavowable Community' - 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.
