In Western societies, straight lines are ubiquitous. We see them everywhere, even when they do not really exist. Indeed the straight line has emerged as a virtual icon of modernity, an index of the triumph of rational, purposeful design over the vicissitudes of the natural world. The relentlessly dichotomizing dialectic of modern thought has, at one time or another, associated straightness with mind as against matter, with rational thought as against sensory perception, with intellect as against intuition, with science as against traditional knowledge, with male as against female, with civilization as against primitiveness, and - on the most general level - with culture as against nature. It is not difficult to find examples of every one of these associations.

Si vous voulez m'appliquer les critères bibliographie-biographie, je vois que j'ai écrit mon premier livre assez tôt, et puis plus rien pendant huit ans. [...] C'est comme un trou dans ma vie, un trou de huit ans. [...] C'est peut-être dans ces trous que se fait le mouvement. Car la question est bien comment faire le mouvement, comment percer le mur, pour cesser de se cogner la tête.
Gilles Deleuze, Pourparlers 1972 - 1990, 1990.

J’aime bien dĂ©vier, digresser, Ă©viter de rĂ©pondre aux questions, prendre les chemins de traverse, sortir des sentiers battus, me laisse emporter par la vague ou le vent. Je me suis toujours tenu pour marchant sur la frontière, nomade, sans rĂ©el domicile fixe. LĂ oĂą je pose le pied, je considère que c’est chez moi. J’ai constatĂ© que c’était justement cette errance, cette dĂ©ambulation volontaire nourrie de rencontres et remplie de hasards, qui m’indiquait le film Ă faire, et que le film me construisait vĂ©ritablement – me donnant une existence – plutĂ´t que le contraire (on croit toujours que le cinĂ©aste façonne ou fabrique son film).Â
