Something about imitation of the other * gender * Outside

In the obituary he published in 2007 in Libération by way of counter-parting, Jean-Luc Nancy pictured his friend Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe composing the character of his own heroic story. The portrayal of Nancy, with whom wrote Le Titre de la lettre and L'Absolu littéraire at the origin of the "School of Strasbourg, is presented as the actor who was forced to embody what she could not represent or incorporate: speech, not formal or significant, but formant, the charm, stuttering. Even long ago, he had referred the conviction of knowing born " to literature" to persist in achieving a poetic speech without poetry (poiesis without ): not producing books of poetry, but not cease to imitate the inimitable : the baby talk that poetry and always comes back.
The imitation of modern is certainly testament to that stubborn imitation. The volume consists of ten lectures delivered between 1978 and 1985, is closely related to previously as The political fiction, but mostly reveals the stubborn trace of a detailed and coherent thought focused on the complex relationships that bind the art and politics in the problem of mimesis .
The game crept into the double genitive title, emphasis in the epilogue to escort the precise translation of Christopher Duran, reflects the ambiguity of the problems tied to the book: the conditions of survival of mimesis in the modern imagination, on the one hand, and secondly, the time we witness the return of modernity to the way you save a model still open to reinvention.
The re-staging of the world through the paradox of the actor with which Diderot opposes the action of the passive mimesis mimesis, the break produced by Hölderlin speculative in its insistent return to the inimitable Greece ("not too much greatness but lack of ownership) to (dis) organizing themes of tragedy and discovering the possibility of this "game of the match" in which case the Trauerspiel , the knot of the tragic "(understood as the ruin itself what imitable) from which you read, the ghost "Nietzsche", the possible substitution of an imitation of poiemata by poiesis the same (ie, the imitation of power) or the kind of stresses nobility and the drive Dionysian madness which endorses the metaphysical antagonism par excellence (his way of being forever on the side of being, where the Apollonian is covered only in appearance), the question of a "possible policy" whose foundation is the Heideggerian thought or the close links between art and politics tekhne the author of Being and Time returns from the heart same classical poetics, the ghost of Oedipus racked, (re) presenting the fate of aletheia (the disclosure of being and the savagery of his cruelty), defines the western sense of passion (wanting to know); and shipping cases in the letters to Jean-François Lyotard (on the condition of the postmodern) and Jacques Derrida (on the essence of politics), links are in fact engaged in the task of reinventing mindless mimicry.
The definition of this heterogeneous corpus, which articulates literary and philosophical texts (not including mediates the reason for a disciplinary hierarchy), not surprising. For years, reflection of Lacoue-Labarthe has focused, directly or obliquely on the question-fiction: the space where the bar which symbolically separates the philosophy of literature is weakened and made possible, including suspending alienated coexistence teacher ratio freed slave and his powers.
not coincidental that the book is interrupted in a folding reflective: to ask on behalf of what to write. Disrupt any assignment, frustrate any destination may be the reason but not the cause of writing. Among the disqualification of proprietary authorship and the insistence of the work and to come, the text of Lacoue-Labarthe supports an extension, put a hyphen where other rod-to think the conditions of response to that question still dormant.
