Dialogues
“Dialogues” by Gilles Deleuze, published by Flammarion in 2008, is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of communication and inquiry. This edition, written in French and spanning 187 pages, delves into the nature of dialogue through interviews and discussions, highlighting the challenges of articulating thoughts and the significance of the questions we ask. Deleuze reflects on how questions can shape discourse and the often overlooked, silent transformations that occur in our understanding of philosophy and social dynamics.
Readers will find that Deleuze’s work engages with themes of politics, social sciences, and modern philosophy. He emphasizes the importance of crafting one’s own questions rather than merely responding to those posed by others, suggesting that this process is crucial for genuine dialogue. The text invites contemplation on the interplay between past and future inquiries, while also addressing the subtle, almost imperceptible changes that influence our perspectives. Through this examination, “Dialogues” offers a unique lens on the dynamics of conversation and the evolution of thought.
Official synopsis Publisher
“C’est très difficile de “s’expliquer”–Une interview, un dialogue, un entretien. La plupart du temps, quand on me pose une question, même qui me touche, je m’aperçois que je n’ai strictement rien à dire. Les questions se fabriquent, comme autre chose. Si on ne vous laisse pas fabriquer vos questions, avec des éléments venus de partout, de n’importe où, si on vous les “pose”, vous n’avez pas grand-chose à dire.(…) Les questions sont généralement tendues vers un avenir (ou un passé). L’avenir des femmes, l’avenir de la révolution, l’avenir de la philosophie, etc. Mais pendant ce temps-là, pendant qu’on tourne en rond dans ces questions, il y a des devenirs qui opèrent en silence, qui sont presque imperceptibles. On pense trop en tenues d’histoire, personnelle ou universelle. Les devenirs, c’est de la géographie, ce sont des orientations, des directions, des entrées et des sorties
