meaning, writing, democracy, dissensus.Abstract
As we read Rui Nunes’s books, we come across a writing that seems to voluntarily condemn to failure any hypothesis of making sense, or of meaning even exist. Crossing his writing with some ideas by Jacques Rancière and Elias Canetti, we intend to think of the act of writing as a purely political and dissensual event, a way of confronting democracy with its own limits and its permanent agency. And, ultimately, even if we radically exclude the urge to have meaning, an undeniable evidence emerges: there is one more text in the world.
