Inhaltsangabe

In The City in the Distance, Jean-Luc Nancy embarks on nothing less than a philosophy of the city. Drawing on his widely discussed accounts of sense and of the fraught question of community, Nancy views the city as the site of a disposition that is constantly undergoing metamorphoses.

Far from an abstract account, Nancy attends in the most concrete way possible to the workings of a city not typically taken as paradigmatic, Los Angeles. As Jean-Christophe Bailly suggests in his foreword, Nancy joins Walter Benjamin in thinking the city not from an external vantage point, but on its own terms.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“Written in a tone that is always poetic, at times even lyrical, The City in the Distance is thought-provoking and a pleasure to read. As a philosophical and writerly meditation, a research-creation of sorts, the book invests a place (here the city of Los Angeles) with words and language in order to make it produce its own space and time.”—Verena Andermatt Conley, Harvard University

“Nancy’s little book helps us dispel the notion that there is a primordial stability of home to be defended against the disruptions of migration. For Nancy, the life of the city exemplifies the mobility or ‘passing by’ that is characteristic of ‘being with’ as an ontological condition.”—Rafael Sánchez, Graduate Institute of Geneva
