Blanchot’s iluminescences: the grotesque, the shout

Abstract

The text intends to bring the critical thought of Blanchot to the fundamental ontology of Heidegger and his idea of luminosity. For this we appeal to Blanchot’s notion of writing and it’s incapability to be measured from a conceptual metrics. From what Blanchot called the shout, we try to overcome the fundamental ontology and the dialectic, building a writing that breaches what is the most human of man, the language. We also seek to draw an analogy with this challenging writing with what used to be called grotesque in aesthetics theory, verifying how this category allows, in the art, such as Blanchot’s wrinting, escape from a luminosity aesthetics.
