Subject: MB: identity


Could someone take the time to enlighten me,

Is it ok for me to thing that everything is subsumed within any
dialecticalresolution of the same and of identity by "the madness of the
day,' except for some unseen and unheard difference which refuses this
resolution?  Does Blanchot posit marginial identities which operate as
difference rather than identiy?  If so, does he envision the possibility
of working within a dialectical system, even one which refuses
resolution, as a "proper" place to begin?  Or does he somehow promote a
"rewriting" more than a mere rethinking of identity in a system that is
not dialectical?  Does MB promote the breaking out of dialectic into
something else?  Can one learn, through his work, a way of breaking out
of a negative dialectic?

Thanks for any help.  In light of this, I have begun (will begin) a
rereading (appropriation) of his _Space of Literature_ to again see what
it was by which I was originally interrupted.
