Behind the audio
A reimagined Socratic dialogue brings Socrates into a conversation with Emma and Vincent. Their disagreement is about a familiar but unsettled question: what does being French mean?
The audio uses a fictional encounter to stage contrasting views of identity. It is available through the original SoundCloud recording.
Listening notes
Emma and Vincent hold diverging opinions about French identity. Socrates provides the dialogue’s questioning presence in a modern Parisian setting.
The piece uses an imagined encounter and spoken conversation to approach a philosophical subject through characters rather than a lecture.
