A morning with Pol Guasch

Friendship is a fundamental relationship that is often little talked about. We talk about love, heartbreak, broken families, loneliness, sexuality... but what is a friend, and what do friends do? Any friendship makes an important impression on us; it invites us to see ourselves through other eyes, and to experiment with other ways of being together, but a friend is not necessarily forever. Friendship is packed full of discoveries, complicities and revelations, just as it is run through by fallings out, disenchantments and fragilities.

Faced with the lack of collective imaginaries that allow us to explore friendship, writer Pol Guasch sets out to put words and images to it. This is why he decided to write his second novel, to investigate such an essential link. This conversation is an invitation to fill the silences and gaps around the theme with content, weaving together a joint idea of friendship based on personal experience.

The session has a pedagogical dossier (in Catalan) so that the students can work on the contents beforehand in the classroom and thus make the most out of the lecture.
