Michelle Perrot, dans l'intimité des chambres

Michelle Perrot, dans l'intimité des chambres

In her often pioneering work, historian Michelle Perrot has continually questioned the fate of those on the margins of our society, giving them a voice to break the silence of history. In her Histoire de chambres (History of Bedrooms), published in 2009, Michelle Perrot speaks in the first person for the first time. She explores the social and intimate role of bedrooms throughout history. Inspired by these reflections, Teri Wehn Damisch paints a "bedroom" portrait of the historian: we enter with Michelle Perrot into the bedrooms of the house in Nohant, where the rebel George Sand, her first heroine, lived. The defining events of her childhood, the awakening of her political consciousness, her daring research, her decisive encounters, her view of feminism: Michelle Perrot immerses us in the episodes that shaped her life as a free woman and placed her among the most influential intellectual figures of our time.

Milton Santos, Pensador do Brasil

Milton Santos, Pensador do Brasil

The interview, held on January 4, 2001, was the last given by Professor Milton Santos, who died from cancer on June 24 of the same year. The geographer is gone, but his thoughts remains. Its political and cultural ideals inspire the debate on Brazilian society and the construction of a new world. His statement is a true testimony, a lesson that the world can be better. Based on geography, Milton Santos performs a reading of the contemporary world that reveals the different faces of the phenomenon of globalization. It is in the evidence of contradictions and paradoxes that constitute everyday life that Milton Santos sees the possibilities of building another reality. He innovates when, instead of standing against globalization, proposes and points out ways for another globalization.
