Resurrection,Survivance and Demeure:Maurice Blanchot's Récit of Death
The question of death not only influences Maurice Blanchot's criticisms,but also penetrates his narrative works.Blanchot's récit of death presents a special experience of death,which continues and constitutes a variation of the tradition of nekuia in Western literature.In Blanchot's récits,the experience of death has two fundamental forms:resurrection and survivance.However,the essence of resurrection in Thomas l'obscur and L'Arrêt de mort is not resurrection of life,but resurrection of death.And the survivance also shows an ambiguity between the sentence of death and the cessation of death.In L'Instant de ma mort,this kind of survivance is interpreted by Derrida as a way of demeure,which turns the death into dying.By creating a fictional space for the spectral dimension of the death event,Blanchot's récit takes the responsibility of witness.
