Abstract

This work, a reading of the works of Martin Heidegger, Samuel Beckett, and Maurice Blanchot, asks a question, 'How does speak in Heidegger, Beckett, and Blanchot?' Here does not simply mean the oscillation or hesitation between one thing and the other which are on an equal level, but rather it means a paradoxical relation to absence or the inaccessible which interrupts the believed certainty of our life and our being. A relation to the "no longer" of the dead, for instance. At the very moment when we think that we can think of it, thinking and language completely fail us. Heidegger, Beckett, and Blanchot, in each different way, try to stay with this paradoxical relation, a relation as a complete break. And for all three writers, this relation appears as the boundary of language. ;The question 'how does speak in Heidegger, Beckett, and Blanchot?' is essentially linked to the question of manner, that is, a manner in which speaks. This work proposes that speaks as danger and dialogue in Heidegger, veil and rhythm in Beckett, body and vigilance in Blanchot. For the three authors, the question of manner becomes a manner of writing at the limit of writing, a manner of preserving at the boundary of language. In this work I think or their manners of maintaining especially through the following questions: 'How is Heidegger's thinking related to his attempt to think in the manner of dialogue ? 'How is Beckett's move between English and French or between various genres linked to his manner of bringing language up to its limit?' and 'How is Blanchot's writing inseparable from his manner of speaking without being able to/speaking outside of power and his manner of being absolutely distrustful of writing while entrusting himself to it entirely ?' In other words, this work shows how the writings of Heidegger, Beckett, and Blanchot seek to preserve the force which constantly carries language and thinking toward their own outside
