Trialogue / Tryalogue

This has no beginning and no end. A trialogue, which is a conversation among three people, preferably across continents, schedules, and climate zones, is typically not started but continued. It has no first word and no last, and therefore is also not concluded but rather interrupted. One pops in and out. Another feature of the trialogue is its tentativeness: one does not have a trialogue, one tries a trialogue. And finally, trialogues typically involve the use of special terminology and particular language – not the language normally found in academic papers, but language that transcends it, then comes back to it, only to transcend it again. In other words, the trialogue is a genre that is not disciplinary, or only a bit.
