What the fold save

Abstract

This essay created with six hands investigates the participation of the critical instance in the literary creation process. At first, our dialogue is triggered by some reflections by Agamben on the power-of-not ingrained in the act of creation, which in turn were provoked by a conference by Deleuze about the act of creation as an act of resistance. However, the main catalyst for the inquiry and the construction of the essay is the observation of our individual and collective journey, as writers who move between the academic sphere, the literary sphere and other spaces or rhythms involved in creation. For the composition of the text, we used the method of montage, by the counterpoint of images, fragments of our narratives of the process, theoretical reflections and readings raised by the on-screen dialogue. The procedure tries to represent the movement, the complexity, the discontinuity and the fractures of the creative process.
