Abstract
Abstract This brief introduction outlines the scope and tenor of the essays that compose the current special issue of Cultural Politics devoted to Jean-Luc Nancy. It makes a case for the relevance of his multifaceted work in a time of perpetual crisis, while also showing its resistance to becoming a totalizing paradigm awaiting “application” within specific contexts. Foregrounding a new alignment of bodies and worlds, the introduction situates Nancy as a thinker of ever-new beginnings, a thinker attuned to the uniqueness of each and every present, those world-shaking moments that he experienced while still in life, as well as the moments still to come and that demand our thoughtful care.
