Following a year of seminar around “Dreams (the archive between poetics, politics and the violence of history)”, we are organizing a one day forum this saturday, June 19, 2021 in order to come back to the main questions that brought us together and reopen them. This day will be an opportunity for the researchers invited to intervene, to emit and discuss proposals for approaches and research problems in the form of open projects, from inter- and transdisciplinary and political studies points of view. An evening of readings will conclude the day.
The increased concern for the archive, if it refers to a present that escapes, where recourse to the past, and the search for sources, could open up new continuities, bringing with it its share of repetitions, at the same time opens up absentee dimensions of history. With them, other temporalities, other genealogies and other modalities of the history settle, such as those in an exemplary way of the oral archive, and of the militant inquiry, where writing has become co-writing, and where the voices are multiple. The archive is then no longer just a repository but the support for a reflexive analysis within the very contexts from which it comes.
On the other hand, this search for other potentials of the archive as a living and spoken archive in different languages leads to the exploration of new issues such as that of the epistemology of the point of view, of subjectivity, and translation, and a notion of politics at the scale of the paths of life.
The enunciation resulting from poetic praxis, which is at the same time political, then opens privileged access to the archive, and to the awakening of the past, and its unexplored tracks, where the surface of inscription of the history and memory has extended to our very subjectivities like Freud’s writing block which had fascinated Derrida, and where the process of the archive and that of the dream resemble each other: an incessant recall to become.
