Claire Parnet (French:[paʁnɛ]; born 1953) is a French journalist.
She is famous for having co-written withGilles Deleuze (her former teacher) the bookDialogues (1977). It is a book of exchanges, interspersed with questions, where each author responds by contributing a block of text.[1]
Eleven years later, Parnet renewed this experience by doing a television programme with Deleuze calledL'Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze (The ABCs of Gilles Deleuze) where she asked the philosopher to speak on twenty-five themes presented in alphabetical order.[1][2]
In the 1980s she was the editor of the journal L'Autre.[1] Later she served as curator of television cultural shows likeL'Hebdo of Michel Field andL'Appartement (withAriel Wizman) broadcast onCanal +.
She has also been editorial adviser for literary programs of the French television networkFrance 5.
