Vivre: le futur nous appartient 2k19

Le désir est un exil, le désir est un désert...

Réalisé pour Récréation sonore, une émission de Radio Campus Paris.

Comment faire un documentaire sonore sur Noël quand le mois de décembre est enflammé par la colère sociale ? J'avais pensé faire un reportage sur le Père Noël, aller dans les grands magasins, en rencontrer un et l'interviewer, parler à quelques enfants, qui y croient, qui n'y croient plus ... mais le mouvement des « gilets jaunes » a éclaté. Les bonnets de Père Noël je les ai vus sur la tête des manifestants, et les sapins dans les barricades. Que dire sur ce thème quand la fête est bloquée par une révolte qui force même les grands magasins à baisser leurs rideaux ? 

Texte  : Fanny Dujardin
Extrait adapté du « Le Père Noël supplicié » de Claude Levi-Strauss, lu par Vincent Couesme.

Devenir-ensemble mix — Dreams of the Outside

- English Follows - 

C’est un plaisir de partager un aperçu de la revue Stasis à venir. Dans un épisode spécial du podcast Stasis, le texte A scroll through the Present prend pour mouvement les vibrations de nos téléphones, et pour écho les ondes de nos écrans. Ce texte écrit par Samuele Collu et Jean-Philippe Bombay discute de l'addiction aux technologies et des technologies de l'addiction. On remercie tout spécialement Hubert Gendron-Blais d’avoir agencé nos disgressions spéculatives sur l’addiction aux technologies avec une trame sonore spécialement montréalaise.

It is a pleasure to share a part of the Stasis journal. In this special episode of the Stasis podcast, the text A Scroll Through the Present echoes our cellphone’s vibration and the movement of our screens. This text, written by Samuele Collu and Jean-Philippe Bombay, explores addiction to technology and technologies of addiction. We thank Hubert Gendron-Blais for his precious contribution as he harmonized our speculative digressions with a powerful soundtrack.
