projected labour
1. What does "immanence" mean here?
2. Does "projected labour" mean "planned work"?
3. Does "d´es-oeuvre" mean "out of control"?
Context:
community is neither a community of subjects, nor a promise of immanence, nor a communion of individuals in some higher or greater totality. [. . .] It is not, most specifically, the product of any work or project; it is not work, not a product of projected labour, nor an oeuvre, but what is un-worked, d´es-oeuvre.

red appled´es-oeuvre.It is dés-oeuvré, not d´es-oeuvre. I would guess this is a way of writing désœuvré, meaning "inactive", "idle", "aimless" (in French), so that the pun or wordplay is more visually obvious.

red apple@GPY and does "oeuvre" mean "a work of art"?Yes, I think so.
(It can also mean someone's entire output of works.)
