 Jean-Luc Nancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nancy was elected docteur d’état (doctor of state) in 1987 in Toulouse with the congratulations of the jury, who included Jean-François Lyotard and Jacques Derrida.
Nancy has published books on film and techno-music, as well as texts on the problem of representation, on the statute of literature, on image and violence, and on the work of On Kawara, Soun-gui, Baudelaire, and Hölderlin.
Nancy treats freedom as a property of the individual or collectivity, and looks for a ‘non-subjective’ freedom which would attempt to think the existential or finite origin for every freedom.

 review-4.995
Nancy recasts "the identity of being and beings" as a distinction between a singular unknowability and the singularity of freedom, that is, between a oneness that connotes mysticism and a unitarity that connotes reification.
Nancy appears on the verge of attributing to Sartre the approach of bureaucratic Marxism which held people to be "determined" by their class background and origin -- and which Sartre had rejected [14] But the shadow of a more unfortunate politics accompanies Nancy's argument with Sartre.
Thus, Nancy's starting point is that freedom is anterior to all that is anterior in philosophy, and to all foundations; if he is to find an articulation, as he argues he must, it will be through a notion of the experience of freedom.

 Jean-Luc Nancy on 'Mad Derrida'
After reading his translated paper on 'Mad Derrida' in broken English, Jean-Luc Nancy took a handful of irrelevant questions from the floor, most notably one from a large guy who informed him in a patronising voice, 'In case you didn't know, there was an election here yesterday.
Nancy's talk focuses largely upon how certain human pursuits, such as the pursuit of identity and love, are in fact a kind of madness.
Nancy, quite rightly, responded that he should make his own mind up, politely implying that he was in the wrong talk.

 College Literature: "L'Art et les gens"1: Jean-Luc Nancy's genealogical aesthetics
Nancy is aware that, even for the sake of self-reflexivity, the rigorous assignment of categories runs the risk of conceptual impoverishment.
What Nancy will not concede to definition, and thus to hypostatization, is precisely the plurality of the Muses as non-essential figurations of art, of sense, and eventually, of femininity.
The multiplicity of these figures, each presented with her own historically specific function, corresponds to what Nancy calls the "singular-plural" character of art-namely, the way in which a discrete and singular aesthetic phenomenon produces in us a plurality of impressions and experiences.

 Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1980 Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy co-organised a Cerisy-la-Salle conference on Derrida, named after Derrida's 1968 paper Les fins de l'homme.
Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy are colleagues at the Université Marc Bloch in Strasbourg, France.
Following on from discussion at this conference and at Derrida's request, they then founded the Centre of Philosophical Research on the Political in November 1980.

 Hegel
Jean-Luc Nancy is professor of philosophy at the University of Strasbourg.
One of the most original interpreters of Hegel, Jean-Luc Nancy offers a portrait as startlingly unconventional as it is persuasive, and at the same time demonstrates its relevance to a very contemporary understanding of the political.
Nancy's Hegel is the thinker who foregrounds the original, irrepressible, and joyous embrace of the inevitable will to philosophize; he is the philosophical guide who negotiates between the two extremes of stupidity and madness along the path to meaning.

 Kretzschmar on Nancy
Nancy's philosophical twist is that this loss of a meaningful world is actually a gain because a world without signification is the world itself.
Nancy concludes: 'the evidence of film is that of the existence of a look through which the world can give back its own real' (44).
Nancy's chosen format for the book -- two relatively independent texts, the transcript of a conversation, and a set of pictures -- literally prevents any clear understanding of the concepts and theories proposed.

 © PSYCHOMEDIA - Jep17 - Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe & Jean-Luc Nancy - From Where is Psychoanalysis Possible? (Part II of "The Jewish People Do Not Dream")
Thus, this Judaism does not only articulate the truth of culture as a whole, the ethical truth-of social guilt" (Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy 1979, p.
With Moses, the book, Freud identifies himself, by identifying Moses, the figure-a historical figure indissociable from the artistic figure sculpted by Michelangelo-as the truth of Nietzsche's 'superman'" (Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy 1979).
It abstracts itself from esthetics (from representation) and from the discharge of guilt: it is, in sum, the naked repetition of the origin (and yet does not preclude the unveiling of this nudity precisely, and only, in repetition, in history).

 On Touching—Jean-Luc Nancy - Jacques Derrida, Translated by Christine Irizarry
Using the philosophy of Jean-Luc Nancy as an anchoring point, Jacques Derrida in this book conducts a profound review of the philosophy of the sense of touch, from Plato and Aristotle to Jean-Luc Nancy, whose ground-breaking book Corpus he discusses in detail.
Derrida gives special consideration to the thinking of touch in Christianity and, in discussing Jean-Luc Nancy’s essay “Deconstruction of Christianity,” devotes a section of the book to the sense of touch in the Gospels.
In a circulation through the history of philosophy since Aristotle up to the work of his contemporary and beloved friend Jean-Luc Nancy, the epochal thinker of touch, this book comes from and goes to the very heart of Derrida’s thought.”

 The Ister review from BBCi
Erudite and initially rather imposing, The Ister presupposes some knowledge of Heidegger, as philosophers Bernard Stiegler, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Hans-Jurgen Syberberg chat independently about one of his most influential themes: the impact of technology on memory, culture and historical identity.
The film's masterstroke is the Danube river trip undertaken by the filmmakers, as the winding route allows them to expand the film beyond the merely academic, taking in the impact of NATO bombing raids on Yugoslavia, former Nazi concentration camps, and lessons in ancient history stretching back to Greek and Roman times.
Taking the 1942 lectures of German thinker Martin Heidegger and the poetry of Friedrich Holderlin as their starting point, the pair travel along the Danube river ("The Ister") as a series of contemporary European philosophers discuss their relationship to Heidegger's work.

 CongressCATH 2005: Jean-Luc Nancy on Networks and Virtual Topologies
The paper takes its point of departure from Jean-Luc Nancy’s various texts on the concept of the political, with specific emphasis on those texts where the political—what Nancy more recently terms “being singular plural”—is re-articulated through networks and the re-tying or “knotting” (nouage) of political ties.
CongressCATH 2005: Jean-Luc Nancy on Networks and Virtual Topologies
The paper suggests how Nancy’s writings might rethink the concept of the virtual today, with emphasis on the ways in which the topology of networks articulated in his writings transforms some of the more pervasive assumptions concerning contemporary technology and its political possibilities.

Taking inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson, Paul Gauguin's idyllic South Seas paintings and a 40-page memoir by French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, from whom Denis borrowed the title and heart-transplant motif, L'Intrus has yet another textual body double: Paul Gégauff's 1965 adventure film Le Reflux, set in Tahiti and also starring Michel Subor.
DS: You adopted Nancy's motifs of the heart transplant and the idea of the intruder.

 The Ister
However controversial Heidegger remains, his thought remains alive in the work of some of the most remarkable thinkers and artists working today, four of whom discuss the contemporary social relevance of Heidegger, including Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, and filmmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.
Winding through the shattered remains of the former Yugoslavia, through a Hungary busily restoring its national mythology, and through a Germany that is both the heart of the new Europe and the ghost of the old one, the Danube itself is the question of the film.
THE ISTER takes up some of the most challenging paths in Heidegger's thought, as we journey from the mouth of the Danube River in Romania to its source in the Black Forest.

 Jean-Luc Nancy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Jean-Luc Nancy's re-thinking of the space of the political, Cultural Values, 4(2), 239-255, 2000.
Nancy is thinking largely of the period of the German romantics, of Jean-Jacques Rousseau who left us a mythical natural community as a counterpoint to modern society, but the target of his analysis is also of contemporary communitarianisms, like Alasdair MacIntyre, who speak of the need for a return to pre-modern communities.
Nancy's thesis is nothing but the questioning of that very idea, and it seems to me that the work of Nancy in general becomes interesting when it is used as a hyperbolic questioning of that sort of philosophical or political correctness.
