Subject : A REPORT ON OUR PRESS CONFERENCE AT DECITRE BOOKSTORE IN DOWNTOWN GRENOBLE, 4 NOVEMBER.

 

6 November 2010
Grenoble, France

Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
As our creative former colleague at the University of Grenoble, the inimitable Jean Dérioz, once observed at a faculty meeting: "Some of us, once we acquire tenure, grow; while others of us just expand."

Our conference at the Decitre Bookstore this week was attended by more than a dozen people of all ages and nationalities who were interested in our studies of resistance and counter-resistance. The discussion went on for more than 30 minutes after the bookstore closed, when finally an employee asked us if he could go home now. We were an assorted group of teachers, retired teachers, peace activists, students, and unemployed workers. The discussion was very animated at times and with a level of clarity guaranteed by the authentic interests and experiences of those who attended.
