Grandes personajes a fondo. Julio Caro Baroja y José Luis López Aranguren DVD [DVD]

JULIO CARO BAROJA AND JOSE LUIS ARANGUREN (GREAT CHARACTERS IN DEPTH) ( DVD ) This DVD is dedicated to two fundamental figures of thought, especially anthropology and philology, in 20th century Spain. Julio Caro Baroja (1914-1995). At 62 years old, the age he is when this interview was recorded, he puts into practice one of his best attributes: "I am increasingly shocked by the lack of love in Spain for psychological assessments." The gallery of characters he knows and quotes is impressive: Galdós, Valle Inc lán, Unamuno, Ortega, Azaña, Benavente, Maeztu, and first of all the protagonists of his book of family memoirs, Los Baroja (1962), written after the death of his mother and her uncles: "I had a feeling of isolation and the virtuality of those memories is a kind of anchor thrown towards the past." In 1976 he had already published more than thirty books and hundreds of articles on ethnography, prehistory, linguistics, art and popular literature. A conversation also full of humor about his intimate relationships: «I had an experience that I really don't have to say much about and it was very good: four stormy years. Afterwards I became a little suspicious.", and his family relationships: "As the nephew of Don Pío Baroja, I am a continuation with errors and diminished." In 1978, ten years after May 1968, "which appears magnified to European eyes," José Luis López Aranguren (1909-1996), philosopher and professor of ethics and sociology, believes "that pre-democracy is not exciting. "It has been so continuous that it is boring."
