For the year 2010, the words have decided to let themselves be read aloud. In public or private spaces such as libraries, gardens, museums, cafés, or at home, Anne-Marie, Marie-Pierre, Marie-Thérèse, Maud, Joce, and Anne will whisper enchanted or not words into your ears, directly taken from great books, bad books, or even newspapers. “Everything is good for those who love reading, everything is food for the hungry,” wrote the writer Christian Bobin. From their mouths, words that were dormant awaken, cross paths, mingle, and then fly away in a farandole to the ears of young and old, creating, as if by magic, images. “This physical pleasure that makes us hear the music of words,” as highlighted by the president Anne-Marie Fighiera, was shared for the first time in 2010, in January at La Picada, where a “café-philo” on the theme of Identity was orchestrated by Dominique Lucas de Peslouan.
Identity, it’s the others
On Saturday, January 30th at La Picada, the association “Les Mots à la Bouche” presented its first philosophical discussion. Identity, in all its forms, opened this meeting orchestrated by the philosopher Dominique Lucas de Peslouan and punctuated by texts read by the members of the association “Les Mots à la Bouche”.
Is it enough for us to have a social position, a job, a family, a religion, or a political party to know who we are? Is the question “who am I” not easy to dodge? There is what we believe we put into our personal identity, and there is what we are. Personal identity, “subjective,” social identity, which is more “objective,” cultural identity, collective or even national, Identity, quite simply, with a capital “I,” gave way to Desire, during the second café-philo.
