Italian term or phrase: del se e del proprio
In termini filosofici, come si pouò tradurre "del se e del proprio" in questa frase?

"Pensare l’opera come un’esperienza significa innanzitutto metterla in contatto con il fuori, con l’ex. Infatti l’opera attira solo chi sente “in sé” quell’ex, ossia quella impossibilità dell’intimo, del sé e del proprio."

Si parla di un'opera di Blanchot, "Lo spazio letterario"

of the self and the own
Explanation:
I think a literal translation works fine.
You could also say "of selfness and ownness".

of oneself and one's own


Explanation:
I interpret the passage like this:
in Blanchot the writer relinquishes their intimacy, the world of endless creative possibilities within themselves in order to enter into a relationship with the outside world though their work and externalise the self-thus the writer is compelled to write and the literary work is born. The writer cannot stay inside himself so to speak otherwise he suffers (the impossibility of oneself and one's own) but in doing so he loses himself to language and expression and suffers anyway.
