The podcast "Resilience through culture" proposes benchmarks and ideas starting from which we can convert current challenges into opportunities for inner strengthening, spiritual openness and community revival. How much did the privilege of knowing many people from the old world mean to Andrei Pleșu? How did this society survive in the new world that had begun to take shape around the 1950s and 1960s? How could we ensure continuity between the old world and the new world? What would Andrei Pleșu say to a young person in today's world, so complicated and opaque in many ways, about looking for and assuming models? What kind of models should we be looking for? What has fundamentally changed so that there has now been a real mutation in society? How can we keep our discernment when we feel that time seems to flow faster than in the past? In the series of dialogues that fall under the "Justice of memory" conference series, the philosopher and essayist Andrei Pleșu and Cristian Pătrășconiu, publicist and writer, offer us, along the lines of memory exercises, a subtle analysis of the relationship between the old world and the new world, highlighting the role of a tradition that involves the search and assumption of authentic models, but also their transfiguration in the spirit of modernity. 0:00 Andrei Pleșu MEMORY EXERCISES 6:55 "There are also moments when continuity is not simply attenuated, but is even torn, broken. I always say that today we are no longer experiencing a change, even a radical one, because it is a fracture, a mutation. And we have to adapt to that and try not to make it have a definitive character that distorts everything around." 13:43 “The moment its representatives [of the old world] have disappeared, it becomes more difficult. I was saying at the beginning that I was lucky to be contemporary with many of them, who were at a different stage of life, but active and present. Therefore, if you have the luck of this contemporaneity, it is transmitted spontaneously. If not, then another theme appears: the theme of the search..." 19:40 "We don't live in a world where, with the past, the idea of a model dissolves. And we're not surrounded by a mass of models, so it's good to leave the door open to museums, so to speak, to collections of people, and behaviors, and works in which the model stands out clearly." 27:41 "We talked all the time about the past, present and future. There is something else: there is also an overworld, there is something that is outside of time, outside of the immediate, and I think that this is a dimension of life, of reflection, which must not be missing." 34:17 "It's a new experience that I see in coffee shops: I see a couple, he and she, who are visibly in love, or at least about to be, and each of them has a mobile phone . I'm at the same table, I drink different coffees, but the mobile phones are also different and I have the feeling that the neighborhood is no longer connected to themselves, but to intermediate means..."
