Situations IX — Miscellanies
Interviews and essays revisit literature, philosophy and changes along an intellectual itinerary.
Understanding the text
Occasional interventions meet methodological retrospection; translations sometimes redistribute texts with those from Situations VIII.
Key points
- 01
Itinerary
Looking back produces interpretation rather than immediate access to final truth.
- 02
Method
Interviewers expose tensions less explicit in treatises.
- 03
Literature
Studying writers remains connected to situation and singularity.
How to read it
Identify the exact essay in a translation because collected volumes do not always correspond.
