Régis Debray: The technologies of belief

Abstract

Interview with Regis Debray, sociologist at the Sorbonne. In this interview, the ex-guerrilla, converted to midiology, revised the myth Che Guevara, silenced Fidel Castro, relativized the value of utopias and needed his political choices. In his view, capitalist dynamics need a state capable of redistributing the wealth produced. The new technologies of communication, which fascinate him, will not, however, serve to establish a virtual and universal democracy.
