PARIS .- In paying tribute this week by the Institute 'Cervantes' the late English intellectual who lives here, a journalist and professor at the UCM in Madrid, José Vidal-Beneyto, the fashionable thinker in France, Edgar Morin, spoke of their relations over sixty years.
Jacques Leenhardt developed all part of the investigations carried out in the field of culture in the days of Council of Europe (the book and reading in Europe).
Gérard Imbert entered into the issues of communication and research international reality production undertaken in the early 80's through the key-reference daily El Pais in Spain, and the news.
The booklet with an introduction by Vidal-Beneyto which was distributed at the entrance of homage came a little Mario Borillo unpublished text, which became known in December 1971 in Marseilles.
The Cervantes Auditorium (160 persons) was packed. Paco Ibañez The singer sang, as did Carcaixent and Madrid, starting Verses for the death of his father Jorge Manrique ... According to testimonies received were moments high intensity.
all stressed the critical resistance embodied Vidal-Beneyto, citing in particular a statement of the long interview he did Gérard Imbert in 2008, published in the journal TELOS 'when asked what is our "last beach?, recapturing the title of an article of 1981, nearly thirty years later.
"JV-B.: critical resistance ... I think there are a number of emergencies that can not be delayed. The most unbearable today is the extreme commercialization and monetization of all, fighting against the commodification, not and the world, but the values personal. The other big issue is how to reconcile individual compliance with collective solidarity? How can we realize ourselves and at the same time be useful to the group where we are. For those who have chosen to teach, to write every day that it is an unavoidable, so when I choose the subjects of my text, I do it from that choice: to resist and be collectively useful .
A small exhibition of the work of Vidal-Beneyto occupied the lobby of the Cervantes Paris. And for the tribute was projected a slide show about his life and work.
As a matter of agenda, some friends of Vidal-Beneyto intellectuals living in France, could not be present, including Ramón Chao, Ignacio Ramonet and Mario Borillo among others. As the act was recorded, the idea now is to add the Cervantes Institute some interviews with them, as has been done with the singer Paco Ibanez.
