Today, July 30, 2008, died in Paris - St. Denis, Georges Lapassade
was born May 10, 1924 to Arbus, a small village in the Pyrenees in southern France and among his last wishes expressed to get back there, but this was not possible because of poor health that forced him to dialysis for years and recently have seen him go out without force. Loved singing and wanted to hear sing "le temps des cerises", the singing of the Paris Commune. He loved to see young people playing, dancing to trance. He loved the Gnawa of Morocco, the "pinched" the Salento and the tenor and the round dance of Sardinia. He loved everyone who has encouraged and helped to study and learn risk, leading player in the conflicts arising from an acute social critic learning. Hosted at his home in Paris, students who needed to stay there for college. He traveled much in his life, went into people's homes and was host, was employed in universities in Italy during the Pantera in 1990 and in 1968 he lived throughout the Sorbonne in occupied France in May.
One day he told me that he wanted his house opposite the university Paris 8, where I was staying, after his death became a place to host foreign students that they needed and did research on intercultural.
sociologist, educator, philosopher, ethnographer ... has never been possible to frame it in any discipline because he practiced a rigorous cross-cutting approach. Always put your finger on the social ills faithful always here and now, the ICO et maintenant.
leaves us a legacy of enormous practical reflection, stimulating and above all the desire to continue living the incompleteness of man.
A hug to all who knew him personally, I feel the need for mutual sympathy
Salvatore Panu
