Rendez-vous

Events occuring during the release of the publication are built around three tags, chosen by the welcoming venue. These tags allow us to go through the atlas of the project (forms of life) in a renewed way.

Tuesday Novembre 26th, 2013, 7pm
Howard Becker in conversation with Franck Leibovici
Kadist Foundation, 19bis/21 rue des Trois Frères, 75018 Paris. On reservation

On the occasion of the publication of Thinking Together by Howard Becker and Robert Faulkner, within the framework of the investigation  Forms of Life - an ecology of artistic practices by Franck Leibovici. Thinking Together is an investigation into Jazz improvisation: how musicians who never met previously are capable of improvising together, for a long time, after only a few minutes of introduction? The notion of investigation is extremely spread today, we find itin the social sciences as well as in the arts: there is an ethnological investigation, a sociological investigation, investigation in poetry or criminal investigation. Against books that propose a didactic methodology, Thinking Together shows the creative process  of the investigation, based on a concrete case. When Rob Faulkner and Howard Becker, two sociologists who were also experienced professionals in the music business, decided to write something about this other part of their lives, they lived at opposite ends of the North American continent: Faulkner in Massachusetts, Becker in San Francisco. The result is one of the most complete and revealing records of scientific collaboration ever made public. And one of the most intimate pictures of the creative process in all its details that anyone interested in that topic could ask for. Investigative writing is not only about formulating chains of rational ideas (as the usual format of scientific articles would like us to believe), but also mixes plays on words, stories, and arguments in new arrangements.
