The step/not beyond (le pas au-del) names this exilic passage as it took form in his influential later work, but not as a theme or concept, because its step requires a transgression of discursive limits and any grasp afforded by the labor of the negative. Thus, to follow the step/not beyond is to follow a kind of event in writing, to enter a movement that is never quite captured in any defining or narrating account.
