Between nothing and a promise of eternity. Reading Alain Badiou’s Black

Argument: Biannual Philosophical Journal 8 (2) (2018)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The book explores narratives of black: brings black into different contexts, compares it with white and other colours of spectrum, reflects on the underneath meanings hidden by black. It is a piece of art that is difficult to be classified by genre: it may be a collection of short stories, an autobiography, an essay. Belonging to both literary and philosophic contexts, this book is not “heavy”, both literally and metaphorically, but filled with unusual observations and reflections on meanings hidden behind the colours.
