Document Details : Title: Communauté en crise, communauté de crise Subtitle: Vulnérabilité et sacrifice dans «la vie à plusieurs» Author(s): PESARESI, Chiara Journal: Etudes phénoménologiques - Phenomenological Studies Volume: 8 Date: 2024 Pages: 127-142 DOI: 10.2143/EPH.8.0.3292515 Abstract : In this paper I will try to reinterpret the idea of community, as it is presented in Patočka’s phenomenology, through the prism of two concepts: one, that of munus, taken from Roberto Esposito’s reflections, and the other, that of vulnus, which radically questions the categories through which modernity has thought the shared life. Indeed understanding the communitas in the light of the concepts of munus and vulnus makes it possible to deconstruct the modern ideal of an autonomous and self-sufficient subjectivity and to rediscover, at the very heart of the human community, a tragic element: the latter is linked at the same time to the unpredictability of human action in the common world (Merleau-Ponty, Tassin), to the violence of the expropriation of the munus (Esposito) and to the risk of the crisis, of the uprooting irruption of the non-sense (Patočka). Finally, Patočka’s idea of a 'solidarity of the shaken', and the self-sacrifice it entails, seems to me to be fruitful in order to reinterpret the human community and shared life in light of such an original expropriation and exposure. |
