Abstract

The critic, essayist and novelist Maurice Blanchot explored the literary phenomenon throughout his work with a special attention for the recognition of posthumous writing condition, particularly about what this radical condition imposes on the writer. His work, therefore fragmentary, had always been an attentive to the relationship between finitude - as a fundamental anthropological experience as well as an event that shows the duration of human life, that is, its relation with time - with the art of writing. From this, we propose a study of the image of death in "Le regard d' Orphée" Maurice Blanchot's essay. That essay gives a space to a fascinating scenario where the metaphor of death is placed. It is also a profound meditation on the possibility of literary art in the immediate post-war time exacerbating distress and helplessness of modernity. Our objective is to unveil the historicity that took place in the image of death in this essay of Maurice Blanchot
