Aporetic Writing and Thinking in L’Attente l’oubli

Summary/Abstract: This essay will discuss Blanchot’s L’Attente l’oubli by examining the relation between the space of its sentences and that of the room they describe. This relation arises as a new understanding of literary space that indicates how far he has moved from his earlier thought of the récit as a search for an imaginary centre. For in this approach Blanchot has found a thought of space that is eccentric and aporetic, which reveals the nature and possibility of relation as an exposure to the outside.
