Impunctualities of the Common: The Point without Point and the Dis-punctuation of Communism on Jean-Luc Nancy

Abstract

This paper seeks to develop a particular description of Jean-Luc Nancy’s own elaboration of the account concerning the problem of community, since his writings from the 1980’s. The purpose of building such a description is to interrogate the tie that binds the political and the community, reworked from the position of Nancy. Thinking this bind would be possible to show the issue of community in Nancy as an attempt to think the political in its essence, and then follow the modulations that leads to the idea of communism redefined, and considered as a radical requirement posed to politics. Here we introduce a singular point that would hold, by preventing them, the immanence of a community and the complete negation of the community as issue.
