Juan Goytisolo, Tzvetan Todorov and Monika Zgustova
The old and new walls of Europe
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 gave cause for hope that the world might thenceforth be less divided and free of totalitarianism. The politics and economies of the Eastern European countries were transformed but the event also constituted a symbolic and cultural landmark that went beyond the limits of the continent. This conversation between the writers Juan Goytisolo and Monika Zgustova and the historian Tzvetan Todorov took place at the CCCB on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Participants: Juan Goytisolo, Tzvetan Todorov, Monika Zgustova
