Pleasure and the New Spanish Mentality: A Conversation with Pedro Almodóvar

Abstract

ed the realm of the creative imagination independent of quotidian (and frequently neglected) efforts toward mass base-building: the development of the productive forces beyond their capitalist organization suggests the possibility of freedom within the realm of necessity. The quantitative reduction of necessary labor could turn into quality (freedom) ... But the construction of such a society presupposes a type of man with a different sensitivity as well as consciousness: men who would speak a different language, have different gestures, follow different impulses . . . The imagination of such men and women would fashion their reason and tend to make the process of production a process of creation.
