Résumé 0

In his narrative writings as well as in his theoretical work on the literary experience or on writers such as Kafka, Mallarmé, or Musil, Blanchot gives an original account of the impersonal dimensions of the “there is” and of the anonymous. This paper compares these analyses with those provided by the phenomenological and post-phenomenological tradition. This tradition (Husserl and Heidegger) is in fact an explicit or implicit reference for Blanchot, but his own views about the “there is” are also evoked by Levinas, in order to deepen the relationship between the “I” and the “it,” and by Derrida, who deals with the relationship between responsibility and the anonymous.
