"singularity is not given in a massive opposition with generality or universality, but as a praxial crossroads and, thus, as a choice. This ethical choice of the always possible reimmersion in questions like ‘what am I doing here?’ ’what am I doing right here?’ ’do I have a responsibility for what I am at the moment?’, but also, for what will come afterwards, not just for me but for the other, for the entirety of universes of sense that are concerned?"

"It’s entirely the same type of preoccupation as for performance:
there are two immanences. The immanence in which nothing occurs, where one remains in refrains closed in on themselves, empty repetitions, as Gilles Deleuze said in Difference and Repetition . . . And the immanence in which a microscopic difference sets off a processuality,
something which starts up, gets organized, develops. As the two of us speak here, it is quite possible that I always repeat the same thing, or that I’m not saying anything, and then it is possible that there will be a bifurcation, that there will be a process that is set off. This is something that evidently concerns aesthetic questions a great deal, but it concerns psychoanalytic questions as well, because one encounters refrains closed in on themselves there, too. It is a matter of knowing if there can be an event, if there can be something that gives the feeling of existential singularity, of not being in an infinitely reversible time, but in a processual time, an irreversible time.
