  • Communal existence and the sacred
    Trebežnik, Luka
    Today, when it is obvious that the communal perspective of life is in deep crisis in the face of unbridled individualist ideologies, we must return to the most fundamental condition of our existence, ... which is essentially characterized by communality. Every emergence of the world is always already being-shared, says Jean-Luc Nancy; this fundamental fact of our existence means that every appearance is a co-appearance. To explain this thesis in more detail, we need to distinguish between two aspects of communication. On the one hand, there is primarily the linguistic aspect, which ensures the transmission of meaning, and, on the other hand, there are community-building gestures that can also take place outside of language. In the attempt to explicate Nancy’s thesis, we will relate it to the insights of Georges Bataille, who recognized that after the death of God, authentic community is only possible through a radical break with the everyday, only through excessive gestures of sacrifice and violence. At the most basic level, these can be understood as exclusionary gestures that always separate the community from its exterior. On a more concrete level, however, it is sacrificial violence that establishes the sacred, which holds the community together precisely through transgression.
