Aesthetic Lifestyles
On the occasion of this new Invitation to the Imagination, Michel Maffesoli has invited Italian philosopher Mario Perniola, the author of Contre la communication (published by Éditions Lignes). They will be joined by philosopher and art critic Claire Margat and lecturer Vincenzo Susca.

A new symbolic order acknowledging the price of priceless things is in the making. We should be able to think through ongoing transformations -and do so off the beaten track.
