The book “Improbable Dialogues – O Populista, a Democracia, o Radical e a Opinião Pública”, by Manuel Pedroso Marques, will be presented next Monday, June 13, at 17:30 pm, at the Loulé Municipal Library, by António Branco, former rector of the University of Algarve. The presentation is part of the “Open Books” section.
«The Dialogues – between the populist, democracy, the radical and public opinion – give strength to the words spoken, clarify “concepts in the form of characters” that dialogue about changes, myths, crises and social divisions. All the characters, depending on the themes, reveal opinions of the left, right or without any political framework», explains the Câmara de Loulé.
The work also addresses «the crisis of democracy, past and future, in the voice and in the wills that ask the reader to identify and identify himself from a political point of view».
These dialogues “talk about globalization (its difficulties and prospects), Brexit and referendums as a democratic way of consultation or a populist way of deciding; talk about the social question – an open, endless discussion, such as inequalities, the power of secularism, the democratic or non-democratic understanding of nationalism, and the pressures of supra and subnationalisms».
“The conversation, in the international field, addresses the situation in the Middle East, terrorism, intentions and dissensions, war and its most serious effects – migrations and cyberwar manifestations. He comments on conspiracy theory practices, the Covid pandemic seen by laypeople and, finally, “freedom – all or nothing in society”».
In these dialogues, the municipality continues, “theses are not overwhelming all objections. Reflection is enriched with external counterpoints to itself: the characters have refined or even corrected certain points of view. The “Improbable Dialogues” rehearsed here also encourage the reader to create certainties or doubts, affections or rejections, but without excluding the difference of the human».
Admission is free.
