Tracing the Being-in-common. The "Inoperative" in the Work of Jean-Luc Nancy and Fernand Deligny

"Community does not refer to an accomplished work" notices Jean-Luc Nancy and disrupts thereby the classic conceptualisation of community, as Fernand Deligny does the same on his own terms. In this understanding, the concept of community does not refer to a political dimension, but firstly designates nothing other than the real position of existence. It results that the articulation of community does not go through the question of the "being of the community" but through the "community of being". Being is common to everybody, exposed each time in a singulary way. Being is nothing we 'own' together. Thereby it is impossible to think of community in terms of identity, that is to say as an identical substance with itself. That means for Jean- Luc Nancy, same as for Fernand Deligny, community always takes place at the very limit as an inoperated one.
