The present essay is focused on some questions about myth and festive time in the thought of Furio Jesi and Cesare Pavese, as well as, in the reflection of Jesi about the presence-absence of feast in Pavese’s trilogy. The loss of the possibility of access the feast becomes the act of creation and resistance, the potency-of-no, in the same way it is discussed by the philosopher Giorgio Agamben. Thus, in the last analysis, the mythological and the inoperosity coincide with the festivity, with the “having the feast”, with the sacrifice and with the deactivating and making inoperose the human gestures, the actions and the works.
