Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article examines Jean-Luc Nancy's essay on Nicolas Klotz's La Blessure (2004), a film that draws inspiration from Nancy's L'Intrus (2000) as part of a reflection on issues of immigration, hospitality, and exile. Nancy's essay engages with the sensory dimensions of Klotz's film, posing a relation between cinematic movement and the senses that is articulated by Nancy in terms of scarring, passage, and partage (sharing/dividing). The article argues that Nancy's reading weaves an implicit series of connections between the tactile, sensory, rhythmic elements of La Blessure and a politics of dislocation, exile, and (transnational) movement. In particular, in its intimation of links between commonality, justice, and the senses, the figure of partage in Nancy's essay can be seen to foreground the ethical and political address of the film.
