In this book Aaron Hillyer considers the implications of Maurice Blanchot's strange formulation: "Literature is heading to its essence, which is its disappearance." This quest leads Hillyer to stage a dialogue between the works of Blanchot and Giorgio Agamben. Despite being primary points of reference for literary theory, no significant critical work has examined their "literary" writings together. The Disappearance of Literature initiates this new trajectory through readings of Blanchot's The Unavowable Community and Agamben's The Open, two short books that harbor their most enigmatic writings. A series of related concepts-study, community, mysticism, and friendship-emerges from this pairing, and, Hillyer argues, forms the basis of a new vein of contemporary literature found in the novels and hybrid fictions of Enrique Vila-Matas, Anne Carson, and Cesar Aira.

Abstract: "To its disappearance," is how Maurice Blanchot tells where literature is headed in a brief essay from 1953. Blanchot's exhortation to his fellow writers, "what will we do to disappear?" serves as the epigraph for a 2002 novel by Enrique Vila-Matas, Montano's Malady . In The Disappearance of Literature Vila-Matas is counted with Giorgio Agamben, Anne Carson and Cesar Aira among a constellation of writers that have more or less explicitly pursued the implications of Blanchot's claim in their own works. The principal aim of this study is to raise signposts that begin to register how these writers wield the potential that can be glimpsed in Blanchot's statement, which is an exemplary attempt to formulate the mode literature assumes when it is aligned with what has been termed by continental philosophy, in the Spinoza-Nietzsche-Deleuze lineage of thought, as an "immanent" ontology. The present work is the first sustained scholarly engagement with this increasingly vibrant literary tendency, which, Hillyer claims, attains political significance by showing how literature and innovative action spring from shared resources and experiences. This study concludes with a consideration of friendship as the paradigm for the literature and politics that emerge from the encounters it registers.

Against The Disappearance Of Literature written by Arlene Zekowski and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with Literature categories.
In her book, Zekowski chronicles the history of publishing as it affected the lives and careers of American authors in the period between 1954 and 1994. This period marks the rise of television, the Internet, and the sound bite, and the consequent decline in the attention span of the American public. More importantly, it also marks the rise of big, corporate publishing as companies began to merge and form multi-media conglomerates. How will serious writers find an audience when the terms "mass-market, " "bestseller, " and "movie rights" dominate the vocabularies of most publishers? Zekowski examines how changes in our culture and in the business world affect the kind of books available to us today, and what they could mean for the future of literature.

What if all the Palestinians in Israel simply disappeared one day? What would happen next? How would Israelis react? These unsettling questions are posed in Azem’s powerfully imaginative novel. Set in contemporary Tel Aviv forty eight hours after Israelis discover all their Palestinian neighbors have vanished, the story unfolds through alternating narrators, Alaa, a young Palestinian man who converses with his dead grandmother in the journal he left behind when he disappeared, and his Jewish neighbor, Ariel, a journalist struggling to understand the traumatic event. Through these perspectives, the novel stages a confrontation between two memories. Ariel is a liberal Zionist who is critical of the military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, but nevertheless believes in Israel’s project and its national myth. Alaa is haunted by his grandmother’s memories of being displaced from Jaffa and becoming a refugee in her homeland. Ariel’s search for clues to the secret of the collective disappearance and his reaction to it intimately reveal the fissures at the heart of the Palestinian question. The Book of Disappearance grapples with both the memory of loss and the loss of memory for the Palestinians. Presenting a narrative that is often marginalized, Antoon’s translation of the critically acclaimed Arabic novel invites English readers into the complex lives of Palestinians living in Israel.

The Disappearance Of God written by Joseph Hillis Miller and has been published by University of Illinois Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000 with Agnosticism in literature categories.
A landmark work of literary criticism by one of the foremost interpreters of nineteenth-century England, The Disappearance of God confronts the consciousness of an absent (though perhaps still existent) God in the writings of Thomas De Quincey, Robert Browning, Emily Bronte, Matthew Arnold, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. J. Hillis Miller surveys the intellectual and material developments that conspired to cut man off from God -- among other factors the city, developments within Christianity, subjectivism, and the emergence of the modern historical sense -- and shows how each writer's body of work reflects a sustained response to the experience of God's disappearance and a unique effort to weave a new fabric of connection between God and creation.

More than thirty thousand people were forcibly disappeared during the military dictatorship that governed Argentina from 1976 to 1983, leaving behind a cultural landscape fractured by absence, denial, impunity, and gaps in knowledge. This book is about how these absences assume narrative form in late twentieth-century Argentine fiction and the formal strategies and structures authors have crafted to respond to the country's use of systematic disappearance as a mechanism of state terror. In incisive close readings of texts by Rodolfo Walsh, Julio Cortázar, and Tomás Eloy Martínez, Karen Elizabeth Bishop explores how techniques of dissimulation, doubling, displacement, suspension, and embodiment come to serve both epistemological and ethical functions, grounding new forms of historical knowledge and a new narrative commons whose work continues into the twenty-first century. Their writing, Bishop argues, recalibrates our understanding of the rich and increasingly urgent reciprocities between fiction, history, and the demands of human rights. In the end, The Space of Disappearance asks us to reexamine in fiction what we think we cannot see; there, at the limits of the literary, disappearance appears as a vital agent of resistance, storytelling, and world-building.

"Tanguy Viel's parody/pastiche of the American novel is subtle and experimental; it tells a story at the same time as it implicitly poses questions about the narrative structure it is deploying." —The French Review In The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan, disappearance is both a theme and a stylistic device. Indeed, this publication narrates the disappearance of Dwayne Koster, who, fascinated by the story of Jim Sullivan, commits suicide in the New Mexico desert which was the setting of the rocker’s disappearance in 1975. But this novel is for the most part set in the metanarrative tale of its own genesis, and, as a result, is partially eclipsed: its -fictitious- author doesn’t relate it in its entirety and keeps adding bits and pieces of first drafts and preliminary sketches to his text, thus blurring its boundaries. Tanguy Viel’s work can therefore be perceived as a double response, existential and aesthetic, to the question of the end.
