About this Event
Join us for a spirited conversation around the release of the English translation of Thinking With Our Ears, written by Director of La Maison Française François Noudelmann.
What if we opened our ears to the sound of ideas? We often forget that thought makes noise, whether a great din or light rustling. We have even tried to silence thought. Still, in philosopher’s writings, we can hear cries and murmurs. Their voices and accents are part of their thoughts. From the acoustic devices of antiquity to the use of the microphone today, Thinking With Our Ears puts a stethoscope to philosophy, proposing a sound ecology of thought to study the sound environments in which philosophy is created and which philosophy helps create. The panel discussion will include Brian Reilly (translator of Thinking with Our Ears), Pauline Nadrigny (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Panthéon-Sorbonne), Sylvaine Guyot (Professor in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU), Simon Leser (translator and graduate student in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU).
