Research On Blanchot’s "Limit-Experience"

The core concept of Blanchot’s thought system,"limit-experience" refers to a unique experience between madness and reality,transgressed boundaries and norms,life and death,and is interwoven with Blanchot’s views on literature and death.Starting with the connection between Blanchot’s "limit-experience" and Bataille’s "inner experience",the connotation of "limit-experience" in death,literature and ethics,and the connection with Foucault’s "limit-experience",this paper combs the concept of "limit-experience" in multiple dimensions.To explore the clues connecting different dimensions--Blanchot’s thinking and efforts on the subject deconstruction.The introduction mainly focuses on the research value and research method of this paper,and on examining the academic achievements in the academic circle from two dimensions of foreign and domestic,and means to make clear that the concept of "limit-experience" has research space and value.In this paper,I discusses Blanchot’s creative career and main representative works,and establishes the consciousness concept of analyzing and criticizing the whole on the basis of text,trying to grasp the evolution phenomenon in the process of Blanchot’s creation.In the first chapter,I first make it clear that the concept of "limit-experience" came from the friendship and ideological exchange between Blanchot and Bataille.The concept of "inner experience" proposed by Bataille was inspired by Blanchot,and Blanchot elaborated on "inner experience" with the help of "limit-experience".At the same time,I also make a specific interpretation of the concept of "inner experience" proposed by Bataille,and finally clarified that the two concepts present an "intimate" relationship of mutual connection and complementary relationship.In the second chapter,based on Blanchot’s "The Instant of My Death","The infinite conversation" and Dostoevsky’s "Demons",I discusses the specific connotation of "limit-experience" related to the field of death.When a person are on the verge of death,the time seems to be extended infinitely,and they are caught by the hand of death in a vague state like a dream but not a dream.At this time,the subject completely loses all power,"I" no longer has the right to die,and death becomes "impossible".The subjectivity of "I" is lost and replaced by a non-subjective,passive "I" in death.In the third chapter,I make clear the connotation of "limit-experience" in the field of literature from the two aspects of literary creation and literary reception.Two of the four elements of literature--the writer and the reader--have been dethroned by Blanchot,who also concludes that "limit-experience" from the realm of death to the realm of literature has a common feature--both point to the deconstruction of the subjectivity.In the fourth chapter,I firstly discusses that under the influence of Levinas,Blanchot gradually began to care for the concept of "the other",and at the same time make multi-level interpretation of "limit-experience" from the perspective of "subject deconstruction" to "the other",including teacher-student relationship,love relationship and "limit-experience" in the concentration camp.In the fifth chapter,I discusses the relationship between Foucault and Blanchot,and the similarity between Foucault’s so-called "limit-experience" and Blanchot’s "limit-experience".In the sixth chapter,I summarizes the theoretical significance of the concept of "limit-experience" and its application significance in the analysis of characters in the text.At the same time,I expounds the influence of Blanchot on the later generations.The influence of Blanchot on Bataille,Foucault,Beckett,Derrida,Barthes and other people is huge.In a word,Blanchot’s thoughts are obscure and difficult to understand.In order to make it more clear,it is of certain significance to elaborate it starting from the concept of "limit-experience".
