“El valor del espíritu de que hablaba Valéry está amenazado por la búsqueda de los mejores índices de audiencia y por una cultura de la pantalla que sustituye la reflexión por la emoción, el espíritu crítico por la animación-espectáculo. En la época de la sociedad de hiperconsumo lo desechable sustituye a lo duradero, todo debe distraer deprisa y sin esfuerzo.
