Michel Maffesoli chose the theme of a "chaos generation" for this rendez-vous, after the title of Christophe Bourseiller's upcoming book Génération Chaos.

The discussion will center around the essay, which describes how, during the 1970s, punk and new wave music re-actualized the experience of limits in a genuine cultural revolution. Chaos? Intellectual unrest? Existential welter? In any case, these years were a crucible in which behaviors prefiguring postmodern lifestyles were invented.
Christophe Bourseiller, Artaud specialist Olivier Penot-Lacassagne, and scholar Panagiotis Christias (La Sorbonne) will take part in the discussion.
