In the middle of the university areal in Nanterre there is a building called Henri Lefebvre next to the building called Jean Rouch (on the right). Looking out of the windows one can look at classrooms of the Henri Lefebvre block and vice versa. What are they are working on? What's in the air? Energy? Tension? The position of these buildings in close proximity, belonging to the same institution, allows for some devious lines of speculation. What if Henri Lefebvre had gone to Maputo in 1978 instead of Jean Rouch?
Why Maputo ?
