Thomas the Marvellous: Resurrection and Living-Death in Blanchot and Nancy

Providing an overarching interpretation of Thomas the Obscure and all of Blanchot’s work, Nancy in La Déclosion presents a powerful reading of death and resurrection. It is only by privileging L’Espace littéraire and a certain interpretation of death, I suggest, that Nancy can argue for the mundaneness of resurrection rather than its “fantastic” or “miraculous” nature.
