Love is the radical incompleteness of everything, #bayoakomolafe Bayo Akomolafe shows us, in this episode of Love & Philosophy. And because everything is incomplete, there is a constant re-turning, never coming back to exactly where we started, and yet constantly coming into a knowing of where we began.
We reach through windows for our daughter's hand, or look for hushes. We miss our father and try so hard to find him that we discover the world. Again we move, as sadness and joy, coming again into places we have never seen but that are as familiar as memories.
#Ritournelle is a word that reverberates through the conversation. It is a term that was created by Gilles #Deleuze & Felix Guattari for A Thousand Plateaus (1987.) It's the main subject of 11th plateau 1837: Of the refrain.
Summary:
In this episode of 'Love and Philosophy,' host Andrea Hiott engages in a deep and thought-provoking conversation with philosopher, psychologist, and poet Bayo Akomolafe. They discuss the transformative power of love, the complexities beyond binary categorizations, and the idea of life as a process filled with relational tensions and incompleteness. The discussion covers Bayo's personal journey, including reflections on his father and his book 'These Wilds Beyond Our Fences.' They explore themes of care, disruption, and the radical incompleteness of reality, providing listeners with insights into how we can embrace the multiplicities of being human.
