ABSTRACT
This article intends to investigate the thought of the community from Jean-Luc Nancy's ‘The inconfessible community’, and Maurice Blanchot’s ‘The inoperable community’. These authors offer a theoretical suport that allows us to think ‘the community’ as an incessant and uninterrupted movement, an unprecedented requirement that is yet to be discovered. Starting from the literary experience of three authors who are distant in time, but close in terms of writing – Nietzsche, Bataille and Llansol –, we approach the thought of the community as something that is inscribed in the field of the opening of meaning, in a domain, therefore, that is more of literature than of philosophy. This is to the extension to the fact that the community existence requires, in the same measure, its creation.
