In this dissertation I seek to examine various ways of conceiving of community. Although frequently referenced and worthy of attention and analysis, the precise meaning of community is not often sufficiently interrogated. The stakes involved in not thinking community are of the highest order. Ignoring the imperative of community means living unaware of constitutive elements of being as well as losing a sense of the infinite irrecuperability of our death.

520 $a In this dissertation I seek to examine various ways of conceiving of community. Although frequently referenced and worthy of attention and analysis, the precise meaning of community is not often sufficiently interrogated. The stakes involved in not thinking community are of the highest order. Ignoring the imperative of community means living unaware of constitutive elements of being as well as losing a sense of the infinite irrecuperability of our death.
520 $a Through a close reading of Jean-Luc Nancy's "The Inoperative Community" I trace the shortcomings of a humanistic approach to community. Furthermore, I untangle and elucidate the meanings and implications of the intricacies of the community that Nancy suggests. The most crucial element of these findings is that community is an ecstatic event of being which completely resists any and all attempts at totalization.
520 $a After having laid such a theoretical point of departure, I stage dialogues between the ideas presented in "The Inoperative Community," Toni Morrison's Beloved and Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. With Nancy's thought in mind I perform close readings of select passages of Beloved and The House on Mango Street. Ultimately these readings permit an extended and amplified view of both Nancy's analysis and the fiction of Morrison and Cisneros.
520 $a A juxtaposition of these three thinkers leads me to conclude that while Nancy's presentation of community is exhaustive, provocative, and important, in the final analysis it fails to sufficiently account for the empirical world. In contrast, Beloved thematizes an engagement with both the philosophical and empirical implications of considering the concept of community. Similarly, The House on Mango Street is concerned with understanding community as space in both a material and philosophical sense.
