Title: "Representations of Violence"
Summary: TRANS> has invited two of the greatest intellectuals of our time to participate in the Telesymposium: Juan Goytisolo and Julia Kristeva in conversation with Rubén Gallo. These two figures have dedicated their lives to a truly critical endeavor - a practice that consists of constantly questioning and examining the most fundamental aspects of human existence. Goytisolo and Kristeva discuss the role that the intellectual should serve in society - a role marked by a passion for knowledge which is fundamentally opposed to the simplistic prejudices and mental indolence of which Impostures Intellectuelles, a recent diatribe against "postmodern theories", is only the last avatar.
