Invitations a' l'Imaginaire
Michel Maffesoli invites Olivier Penot-Lacassagne (Universite' Paris III) and Stephane Hugon (CEAQ, Eranos). Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) was invited several times to the Rendez-Vous de l'Imaginaire. (The old name for the Invitations a' l'Imaginaire). Eight years after his death, Michel Maffesoli, joined by Olivier Penot-Lacassagne and Stephane Hugon questions the topicality of that perceptive and intuitive thinking. Jean Baudrillard took the criticism of consumer society to its ultimate point, and had at times bleak hunches about the great maelstrom of postmodernity. Refusing confining disciplinary pigeonholes, more concerned with the adventure of thinking than with institutional legitimacy, he produced a body of work which is commented on by authors as different as Michel Deguy, Bernard Stiegler, Philippe Petit and many more.
