dialogues
Back-and-forth talks
Dialogues is the plural of dialogue—conversations between two or more people, or the conversational portions of a literary or dramatic work.
The word often implies substantive exchange rather than casual chat: The two nations have opened dialogues on trade.
Philosophical dialogues, like Plato's, present ideas through conversation between characters.
