Colloque international
Athnes, le 4-5 mars 2015

Universit dAthnes Institut franais de Grce

Universit de Chypre Universit Bordeaux Montaigne

Reprsentant important dune gnration dintellectuels franais qui a marqu la

production philosophique de laprs-guerre ; contributeur lapproche
dconstructionniste de la pense occidentale ; penseur radical dont le regard porte sur
une srie de questions pineuses comme la dmocratie, la communaut, le christianisme,
voire la possibilit mme du sens ; analyste perspicace des uvres de la culture visuelle,
ainsi quinterlocuteur rgulier et collaborateur des projets combinant philosophie et art ;
auteur de textes qui se situent la limite du discours autobiographique et au carrefour de
lamiti et de la rflexion thorique : traduit en nombreuses langues, Jean-Luc Nancy
occupe de puis dj plusieurs annes une place remarquable dans les sciences humaines
et sociales contemporaines.
Luvre de Jean-Luc Nancy insiste sur des notions comme la finitude et la singularit
comme pluralit (tre singulier pluriel), la dmocratie face au totalitarisme potentiel du
politique et comme ouverture de lespace de len-commun (La Vrit de la dmocratie), la
communaut et le communautarisme (La communaut dsuvre), la version a-
thologique et/ou anarchique du divin (La dconstruction du christianisme), la narration
philosophique du corporel et du personnel (Noli me tangere, LIntrus), le rapport et la
jouissance (La communaut dsavoue, La jouissance), ou encore luvre dart comme
une explosion de sens unique et matrielle.
Jean-Luc Nancy travaille donc sur des questions qui touchent aussi bien au politique qu
lintime ou se placent ventuellement sur la limite entre les deux. Ces deux aspects de
luvre de Jean-Luc Nancy reviennent dans la prsentation de Lautre portrait : Le
portrait, limage du visage. Le visage, visibilit de lintime. Lautreportrait : image du plus
quintime, de linvisible, de lautre dans le mme. Image de linimaginable et de
linfigurable. Si le portrait insiste et rsiste aujourd'hui dans les pratiques des formes
visuelles, cest simplement parce quen lui insiste et rsiste, obsdant, peine visible, le
plus intime de ce quon nomme art.
Ce colloque sera organis Athnes, donc dans un espace politiquement charg, et vise
poser, propos de luvre de Jean-Luc Nancy, des questions se rattachant ces
perspectives : quelle est la position de lintime dans les perceptions actuelles du
politique ? Quelle peut tre limportance dun projet comme celui de Nancy un moment
o pratiquement tout est dcrit comme toujours dj politique ? Comment peut-on
mettre en place des polarits nouvelles et des hybridations originales entre le politique et
lintime ? Quel type de relations peuvent former celles-ci avec des notions sur lesquelles la
dconstruction a systmatiquement travaill, comme par exemple le secret ? Comment
peuvent-elles enrichir notre perception du politique, la reformer et, enfin, la renforcer ?
Quel type de dfi lintime peut-il lancer aujourdhui la philosophie ou la thorie
culturelle et politique? Par quel biais, part la narration, peut-on laborder ?
 Jean-Luc Nancy honorera le colloque de sa prsence et de son amiti.

 being | intimate | political, Jean-Luc Nancy

International Conference
Athens, 4-5 March 2015

University of Athens French Institute of Greece

University of Cyprus University Bordeaux Montaigne

A significant representative of a generation of French philosophers who are distinguished

by their original interventions during the past forty years; a central participant in the
deconstructive approach to Western thought; a radical thinker who reconsiders a number
of controversial questions such as democracy, community, Christianity, as well as the very
possibility of sense itself; an insightful reader of works of visual culture; a regular
interlocutor of artists and collaborator in projects combining philosophy and art; an
author of texts on the margins of autobiographical discourse and at the interstices of
friendship and intellectual work: translated into numerous languages, Jean-Luc Nancy has
attained a position of singular importance in the field of the contemporary human and
social sciences.

Jean-Luc Nancys work is one which is shaped by an insistence upon notions such as
finitude and singularity as plurality (Being Singular Plural), democracy as the opening of a
space to be shared vis--vis the potential totalitarianism of the political (The Truth in
Democracy), community and communitarianism (The Inoperative Community), the
atheological and/or anarchic version of the divine (The Deconstruction of Christianity), the
philosophical narration of the corporeal and the personal (Noli Me Tangere, The Intruder),
pleasure/jouissance (La jouissance), or the work of art as a unique material explosion of
sense.

Beyond the specific character of these interventions, Jean-Luc Nancy combines an

interest in questions touching upon both the political and the intimate, or on the
uncertain zone between the two. It is precisely this double character of his work that is
evident in the presentation of his most recent book, The Other Portrait (2014): The
portrait, the image of the face. The face, visibility of the intimate. The other portrait:
image of the more than intimate, of the invisible, of the other in the same. Image of what
cannot be imagined and cannot be figured. If the portrait insists and resists today in the
practices of the visual forms, it is simply because what insists and resists in it, obsessively,
almost invisible, the most intimate of what one might call art .

This conference is organized in a space, Athens, whose parameters are invested with
a political charge. It seeks to pose, propos of Jean-Luc Nancys texts, a mode of inquiry
guided by the following indicative questions: what is the position of the intimate in
contemporary forms of the political? What is the singular importance of Jean-Luc Nancy's
project at a moment when everything already seems to have been described, by
definition, as political? What are the polarities and intertwinings to come between the
intimate and the political? In what manner are the intimate and the political themselves
related to other concepts which have been systematically interrogated by
deconstruction, such as the secret? How can the intimate re-inform our understanding of
the political, re-form it and, finally, reinforce it? What type of challenge or obligation can it
represent for philosophy and cultural or political theory? Beyond the form of narrative,
what other alternative paths are open to approach it?

Jean-Luc Nancy will honor this conference with his presence and friendship.

Languages of the conference: French and English.
