- Abstract
The article examines French philosopher Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's effort to come to grips with the textual fate of a short text he had himself commissioned from Maurice Blanchot as early as 1976 for the journal he edited with Mathieu Benezet "Premiere livraison." It mentions that Lacoue-Labarthe took the application of the question mark to the original title of this very brief narrative as an indication of Blanchot's awareness that his presentation of the scene required deconstruction.
