HERNANDEZ CUEVAS, Luis Armando. Retreating communities. Andamios [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.42, pp.259-283.  Epub Aug 28, 2020. ISSN 2594-1917.  https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v17i42.743.

Outlining a minimal retrospective on the debate of community in the contemporary French philosophy, in which the names of Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe are enclosed, the paper intends to walk into a practically untraveled path in this debate, which is: the nexus between ethnography (specifically that of Pierre Clastres) and philosophy. This in order to glimpse the concepts of retreating and friendship, set on the questioning of the common.

Keywords : Retreating; (un)power; (un)work; friendship; Clastres.
