Philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy’s essay Identité, published in 2010, explains how “identity is fulfilled as the movement by which it proceeds towards something it will never bring back to the identical,” and that therefore “no identity is ever granted in and of itself – ever.” The author, a woman writer, interprets the essay as a philosophical definition of the act of writing, as a singular use of language unassignable to predefined identities.
