Introduction : writing of the No -- Blanchot and Agamben on désoeuvrement -- The (para)ontology of disappearance -- The potential of study -- Toward a constellation of literature's disappearance -- Anne Carson and the study of mysticism -- Enrique Vila-Matas and the self-study of writing -- The friendship of literature -- Notes -- Index.

Aaron Hillyer considers the fate and implications of Maurice Blanchot's enigmatic formulation of literature's future: Literature is heading to its essence, which is its disappearance. The Disappearance of Literature's primary theoretical objective is to highlight a previously neglected difference between Blanchot's and Agamben's philosophies. These philosophical and literary arguments proceed by examining a series of related concepts: study, sexuality, language, mysticism, and friendship. Despite the fact that Blanchot and Agamben often serve today as primary points of reference for literary theory, no significant critical work has yet examined their works in a sustained dialogue. Hillyer initiates this new trajectory of research through readings of Blanchot's The Unavowable Community and Agamben's The Open, which are followed by encounters with books by contemporary writers Vila-Matas, Aira, and Carson. The juxtaposition of these two different forms of writing (philosophy as literature and literature as philosophy) shows that the new kind of writing analyzed here holds both literature and philosophy at a certain distance from each other as well as from themselves. The primary means of this distantiation is the gesture of deactivation performed by the act of study. The narrators and authors examined here often study both literature and philosophy in order to remove them from their perilous metaphysical foundations. In this way, Hillyer argues, the study- novel emerges as a basic paradigm of the disappearance of literature, a new category of literary creation marked by Agamben's dispute with Blanchot--
