Le temps musicalPierre Boulez Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault Le temps musical

________

Yes us non musicans !

Posting two parts of the same event Deleuze Boulez Foucault Barthes etc they are both from the same conference __ a rare event in Deleuze's case! ____he notoriously hated them __________

The reason for posting two is that in one the Deleuze part seems cut off , the you tuber who posted this to his station explains he was not able to get the entire original in one video. This is a technical problem. In any case,

it's all here and it's fascinating __ each of the speakers is true to persona!

Boulez is the great musican of post ww2 France

and it's no Coincidence as I see it the Name Boul e z like Deleu z e rymes on that

Z of

creation which Gd discusses at the end of the ABCeDaire ....with C Parnet

Creation and Invention even at moments like this is wonderous to remark and take not we are always

given this beauty to co create

we are co authors

in the machine

. I came across it by accident, or mishap some line of escape from the molar turf of youtube itself.

I call you tube molar because it is and has been a google product for a few years now and it's no the wild territory it once was.. yet every day millions of uploads continue and amazing wonderful things happen in spote of its ongoing reterritialiaztion. etc...

There is no English translation of the whole conference. At least not one that i know of. The English of Deleuze based on a hand written version is found in Letters and Other Texts published in 2020 Semiotexte Foreign Agent Series . It's strange to read it in that book as it's really out of context. So it's real find to have come across this video. Which as it turns started circulating 2 years ago.

It's from 1978 . l analysait les cinq œuvres en public, reprenant tel passage, donnant tel fragment, telle parole isolée, avec le concours de musiciens de l’Ensemble intercontemporain. Chacune de ces séances d’analyses publiques

était suivie de débats en cercle restreint, auxquels participaient Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault et l’équipe de l’Ircam. L’« expérience », conçue comme un « atelier », était intitulée Le temps musical. Elle devait s’achever sur une « séance de synthèse », dont les débats constituaient en quelque sorte l’esquisse, la préparation.

Retrouvez la séance de synthèse qui a eu lieu le 23 février 1978 au Centre Pompidou.>

________

Musical time .. I hope to discover a n English transcription ofthis remarkable musical philosophical discussion .

you can turn subtitles on in youtube &change the settings to English it's quite funny! it's often very accurate other times off the beam but you can put to it together from the pieces i say this as my own french is far from perfect

o n the other hand it's very Anexact to quote A Thousand Plateaus!`

_______

Notably Deleuze starts the first part of his talk stating he's speaking as a non musician Nous non musicians ...

Also it's gets rowdy near the end as he's interrupted ! and there's a ruckus! none ofthis happens with the other speakers...

I also found this site dedicated to Foucault's work with this link

What I most detested was Hegelianism and dialectics.

And : The question of speed is important and also very complex. It doesn't mean the first in the race: you can be late through speed. Speed is to be caught in a becoming_ which is not a development or an evolution. One must be like a taxi, queue(ligne d'attente), line of flight, traffic jam, bottleneck, green and red lights, slightly paranoid,brushes with the police. To be an abstract and broken line, a zigzag which glides 'between'. The grass and speed. What you misnamed style just now_ charm or style_ is speed.

And :One only discovers worlds through a long, broken flight.

_AnD______as_______for___

As for the method of deconstruction of texts I see clearly what it is, I admire it a lot, but it has nothing to do with my own method. I do not present myself as a commentator on texts.

For me, a text is merely a small cog in an extra-textual practice. It is not a question of commenting on the text by a method of deconstruction, or by a method of textual practice, or by other methods; it is a question of what use it has in an extra-textual practice that prolongs the text ..

Professor D Challanger speaking

in Clinical Critical terms as the hat was in the wind

How else?

How else can one write of those things which one doesn't know, or knows badly? It is precisely here that we imagine having something to say. We write only at the frontiers of our knowledge, at the border which separates our knowledge from our ignorance and transforms the one to the other.
Only in this manner are we resolved to write. To satisfy ignorance is to put off writing until tomorrow -or rather, to make it impossible. Perhaps writing was a relation to silence altogether more threatening that that, which is supposed to entertain with death.
