[INAUDIBLE]
You're in the element of writing when reading
the text [INAUDIBLE] resists.
And I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about some
of the texts [INAUDIBLE].
La question, je crois, dans l'ensemble c'est
est-ce que vous êtes dans l'élément de l'écriture
en lisant le poème ?
Is that right?
When you're reading a poem that you're involved in the--
[INAUDIBLE] was when reading a text which resists [INAUDIBLE]..
En lisant un texte qui résiste, je me trouve dans l'élément de l'écriture.
C'est une citation de vous-même.
C'est moi qui ai dit ça ? - Oui, apparemment.
Je ne comprends pas.
Est-ce que vous pouvez donner un exemple
d'un texte qui résiste ?
C'est ça en gros, la question.
Tous les textes résistent.
What do you mean by [INAUDIBLE]?
What is my phrase exactly?
No.
The idea remember was something like that.
There is no difference between thinking, speaking,
and writing.
Of course our habits, and especially in philosophy,
it is one of the task for the deconstruction
precisely that-- Bon, fermer la parenthèse.
So usually you say "I think" after that I express myself,
so that speaking and saying these things.
And eventually at the end of this book I write.
So I suppose that this phrase was oriented for this idea.
No differently, thinking, speaking, writing, the same.
Exactly the same.
So it's also a way to refer to the so-called grammatology.
But I don't want to give you a course
about grammatology tonight.
C'est quelque chose comme ça.
La phrase exactement, c'était quoi ? Je n'ai pas entendu.
What was the phrase you [INAUDIBLE]??
Well, I'll give you the sentence before also that you said,
"To write is to struggle against [INAUDIBLE] the [INAUDIBLE]
and disappearance of that which seems worthwhile to be pursued,
tracked, gathered.
And then when reading a text which resists,
and which I perceive [INAUDIBLE],
I'm the element of writing.
Ah, oui, oui. Bien sûr.
Bon, le philosophe français Malebranche
Maybe you've heard the name of Malebranche,
Le révérand Malebranche,
pupil of Descartes, about 1650.
Sounds like Oliver.
He used to say Mes pensées me résistent.
I'm struggling with [INAUDIBLE].
This struggling with thinking is a writing.
Of course, how could you think and struggle with thinking,
I mean searching is, again, without writing.
Even if you don't write with a pen it doesn't matter you write
otherwise there is a La France.
La phrase, l'articulation de la pensée.
This is the writing.
Good.
