While Blanchot follows Heidegger in the view that writing is a form of techne, he never appeals for salvation from the menace of technology in the modern era. Rather, he sees in all forms of technology the opportunity for a new way of thinking beyond value. This, Blanchot calls an entirely different sort of affirmation. 410 0$aTechnicities Series 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French. 676 $a194 700 $aLangstaff$b Holly$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767588903321 996 $aArt and Technology in Maurice Blanchot$93656368 997 $aUNINA
