Abstract In this study I confront the work of Thomas Mann with the Jewish question in order to examine the relationship between literary (human) agency and the inferior margins that enable it: those creatures who do not share the language of (the European and civilized) man. Through a reading of several of Mann’s narratives that concern the relationship between human beings and animals as well as texts by Jewish authors, Kafka in German and Agnon in Hebrew, I seek to shed light on the concept of ‘animality,’ a term that implies continuity between the human and the animal, thereby laying bare man’s political precariousness and fragility and aligning the human with the creature by exposing the body. Based on my reading of Mann’s figuration of the dog in the early story “Tobias Mindernickel” (1898), the novella Herr und Hund (1917), and his Jewish mythical depiction of the biblical Joseph as a dog in Joseph und seine Brüder (1933–1943), I argue that Mann’s humanism is limited in that it guards against the mimetic alignment of man with other creatures by portraying the (often muted) creaturely object of the literary depiction as an inferior – albeit frequently admirable – being. By contrasting Mann’s treatment of this question with Jewish literature’s complete immersion in the animal, I suggest how descriptive speech identifies orientalism as a form of descriptive knowledge, thus clarifying as well the process whereby the modern European nation-state was consolidated by its invisible margins. The article thus suggests that literary description is a means to differentiate and gain agency by adhering to language’s elevated and hierarchical terms.

Abstract Focusing on Maurice Blanchot’s La Communauté inavouable (1983), this text investigates possibilities of thinking and performing communities that interact with and constitute one another “à hauteur de mort” (Bataille).Following the twofold structure of Blanchot’s text, the first part of the essay in its first part unfolds the notion of communitas in order to show how Maurice Blanchot, Georges Bataille, and Jean-Luc Nancy formulated a new concept of community by distinguishing it from liberal, socialist, Christian or fascist forms of community that all had become extremely problematic by the beginning of the Second World War at the latest. By doing so they themselves performed an ‘unavowable community.’The second part of the essay engages with Marguerite Duras’ La Maladie de la mort, a novella that is the main subject of the second part of La Communauté inavouable. Here, the performative power of language is delineated by means of the idea of a ‘community of lovers’ that manifests itself, in contrast to romantic forms of togetherness and unity, precisely in the breakdown of communicatio and communitas.
本文以莫里斯·布朗肖(Maurice Blanchot)的《不可避免的共同体》(La communaut inavotre, 1983)为中心，探讨了思考和表演社区相互作用并构成彼此“ hauteur de mort”(Bataille)的可能性。Blanchot的双重结构的文本后,文章的第一部分第一部分展开的概念communitas为了展示莫里斯Blanchot,借,,jean - luc南希制定社区的一个新概念区分从自由主义,社会主义,基督教或法西斯主义形式的社区都变得非常有问题的最迟第二次世界大战的开始。通过这样做，他们自己表现出了一个“不可否认的社区”。这篇文章的第二部分与玛格丽特·杜拉斯的《死亡之病》有关，这部中篇小说是《不可避免的公社》第二部分的主要主题。在这里，语言的表演力量是通过“恋人社区”的概念来描绘的，与浪漫的团结和统一形式形成鲜明对比，正是在沟通和社区的崩溃中表现出来的。

Abstract Jean Paul’s collection Grönländische Prozesse, oder Satirische Skizzen (1783–4/1821) has been scrutinized regarding its exuberant similes and its satirical wit, but ranked low compared to his novels. From the beginning, however, it exposes a groundbreaking strategy resonating in his more famous literary and theoretical works alike. The first sketch “On literary writing. An opusculum posthumum” converts a rhetoric of the known material world – with its diversity of life forms – into a materialistic-physiological writing (and vice versa). The text interchanges processes of transformation (e. g. ‘metabolic,’ ‘biotic,’ ‘chemical’) with techniques that are capable of changing things rhetorically. Pertaining to Jean Paul’s later analysis of antithetical wit, I suggest grasping the structure of this interchanging as a rhetorical process in itself, which can be pinpointed by the figure of antimetabole (or commutatio). Consequently, this complex dynamics is connected to transitions between ‘alive’ and ‘dead’. The status of “On literary writing” as a posthumously published draft and pseudo-poetological treatise, introduced by a fictive editor, thus exactly fits the rhetorico-physiological processes it stages and complements a genuinely anticipatory writing.
让·保罗(Jean Paul, 1783-4/1821)的作品《Prozesse, oder Satirische Skizzen》(Grönländische Prozesse, oder Satirische Skizzen, 1783-4/1821)以其丰富的比喻和讽刺的机智而受到人们的审视，但与他的小说相比，其排名较低。然而，从一开始，它就揭示了一种开创性的策略，这种策略在他更著名的文学和理论作品中都有共鸣。第一篇小品《论文学写作》。《遗作》将已知物质世界的修辞——及其生命形式的多样性——转化为唯物主义生理写作(反之亦然)。文本将转化过程(例如“代谢的”、“生物的”、“化学的”)与能够在修辞上改变事物的技术交换。关于让·保罗后来对对立机智的分析，我建议将这种交换的结构本身作为一种修辞过程来把握，这可以通过反代谢(或交换)的形象来确定。因此，这种复杂的动态与“活着”和“死亡”之间的转换有关。因此，《论文学写作》作为一篇由虚构编辑介绍的遗作草稿和伪诗学论文的地位，正好符合它所描述的修辞生理过程，并补充了一篇真正的预期性写作。
