Abstract
CORCUFF, Philippe. Libre homenaje a Daniel Bensaïd (1946-2010): Travesías melancólicas de "juegos de lenguaje" diversificados. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.9, pp.7-38. ISSN 2007-8110.
As a free tribute to the philosopher, politically active revolutionary and French internationalist Daniel Bensaïd (1946-2010), who has been deeply marked by Walter Benjamin's contributions, this article proposes an exploration of melancholy in eleven stages, crossing a variety of cultural registers (philosophical, sociological, political, and literary texts as well as popular songs), and a diversity of "language games" in Ludwig Wittgenstein's sense. In the course of this itinerary a cross-border epistemology, still little known in the social sciences, capable of stimulating the sociological imagination is outlined.
