Sumario:This essay seeks to perform an aesthetic exploration on the relations between listening and crisis of hegemony. It is based on the premise that every crisis of hegemony is a crisis of listening. This inflection is a radical temporal dislocation: the present of listening is always divided and multiplied (Nancy.) It is made of splintered times, of traces that come from different pasts. This temporal proliferation is important: it speaks of forms of memory that never quite fit into any politics of memory. To interrogate the very practice of listening can help us, then, to work on these memories precisely at a time of active war against all forms of collective memory. The essay situates the practice of listening not as personal testimony but as critical work--that is: as a work of reorientation (LaBelle) in the midst of the ongoing cultural and political mutation.
