- W2023703456 abstract "The question of cultural identity is a tricky one, and the question of cultural marginality even trickier. To think through the trickiness it is best to refer to those who have addressed these questions with a passionate intensity for, literally, their lives have depended on it. Take, for example, Jean Améry's reflections on the meaning of home. Home, for the Jewish exile, means security, full command of the dialectics of knowledge and recognition, of trust and confidence. 1 Améry admits the possibility that what we today call globalisation could expel the homeland and possibly the mother tongue and will let them exist peripherally as a subject of specialised research only (ATML, 57)—subjects which are indeed addressed in the book reviewed. However, experience of the absolute marginality of the European Jew obliges him to believe one simple fact: it is not good to have no home (ATML, 61). Take, as a further example, Andre Gorz's meditations on identity. For Gorz, the intellectual, especially the marginalized intellectual, seeks to define a world in which being an outsider has been overcome. The defect of all existing identities, therefore, is their very particularity and their historicity, what Gorz calls that great flabby body of nationality whose incarnation cannot be deduced by reason and in which everything is permeated by the smell of wine, vodka or beer. 2 The intellectual's quest remains that of an identity relieved of the contingency of existing and the 'metaphysical fault' of finitude. 3 What is sought is absolute abstraction. In short, Améry and Gorz expose the twin illusions of modernity: the illusion of cosmopolitanism in which the local is exchanged for the world and the illusion of provincialism in which the local sustains its authenticity against the world." @default.
