France, tour, détour, deux enfants

France Tour Détour Deux Enfants uses a gentle teaching method which encourages the viewers to establish themselves the connections necessary to develop their thinking about the world. The protagonists, Camille and Arnaud, two children of about ten who alternate as the focus of an episode, are the essential element in the teaching method, pretexts for returning to a basic language. More than ever, Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, instead of applying the theory through practice, create the theory at the same time as practising it. Since their aim is to "live their lives and see themselves on television", what interests them is not so much the content of these existential questions (the body in time and space, work, freedom...), as the way of asking them. In each interview, the journalist's questions involve examining the way of interviewing, itself. It therefore appears to be a specific form of maieutics which comes from the experience of living.
