\nsynopsis<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nWhat was the twentieth century? The author answers this question through use of the interview. The ten themes in the book are: the city, war, the earth, exile, life, women, sex, language, art, and communication. And ten interviewees, selected from among the greatest European specialists in the topics.
\nThus, urbanist Paul Virilio describes the deterioration of the planet\u2019s great cities. General<\/p>\n
Pierre-Marie Gallois focuses on the world\u2019s geostrategic unbalance. Geographer Pierre Gourou reflects on the depopulation of the countryside and hunger. G\u00e9rard Chaliand, sociologist and political scientist, reveals the limits of contemporary racial amalgamation. Nobel laureate Fran\u00e7ois Jacob talks about progress in molecular biology and his reflections on preventing cancer. Writer Mich\u00e8le Sarde analyzes women\u2019s grand unsung battle in the social arena. Psychoanalyst Catherine Millot examines sexuality, which she compares to totalitarian parties. Linguist Claude Hag\u00e8ge deals with the role of globalization in the disappearance of languages. Painter Georges Mathieu (letter<\/strong><\/a>) speaks of the massacre of sensitivity at the end of the millennium, and communication scholar Dominique Wolton explains why the central question of the twenty-first century will be communication.<\/p>\n
