La force de l'imaginaire

Thursday 4 April 2019 at 7 pm

« La bien-pensance est la rouille de l’esprit. »

On the occasion of the publication of his last essay: « THE STRENGTH OF IMAGINARY », pamphlet against the well-thinking, Michel MAFFESOLI proposes to discuss with Guillaume FÉDOU : author / composer, programmer, and especially influencer and Romaric SANGARS, writer, editor-in-chief of INCORRECT magazine. In the presence of Vincenzo SUSCA, lecturer at the University of Montpellier and director of the collection « L’imaginaire contemporain » (Ed Liber).

Perhaps it is still time to redynamise a languishing intellectual debate, stupid and, above all, very wearisome. Beyond the commonplace serines by a completely out of phase intelligentsia. Beyond its ideological hodgepodge, indigestible mixture of individualism, rationalism and inevitable utilitarianism, we must remember the « invisible force of imaginary », lived from day to day, and cleaning up the cloak of « logical conformism » (Durkheim) specific to established knowledge.
