The festival program will be open questioning guests about an issue that has worried and concerned in France, the supposed decline of cultural hegemony.
The influence of the French language in the world has declined and with it, dropped the influence of his thought.
Why should this fact apparently confirmed by analysts of very different?
Philosophers like Sidi Mahammed Barkat and correspondent of the newspaper El Pais in Paris, Josep María Martí Font, will talk about this issue from their different theoretical positions: feminism, the clinic's work. The thought and the French edition occupy their respective spaces discussed what has been called the French legacy: the importance of May 68, which is 40 years, will be the starting point for Fernández Amador Savater, editor of the archipelago, which has devoted a special issue to issue coordinated by him , anthropology and gender studies, or the philosophical heritage occupy our other guests.
The picture of concentration and editorial issues and a look which reflects our own literature acquired in the neighboring country will issue one of our debates.
The first by two experts in editing: André Schiffrin and Enrique Murillo, now editorial director of the newly created Lynx Books, the second hand of Nestor Ponce, Argentinian writer and teacher living in France.
Poetry also will be starring in The Sea lyrics and this has contributed to the publication of an anthology of contemporary poetry (Camelot), coordinated by Lionel Ray, which will be presented by two of the poets selected: Linda Maria Baros and young Jean Portante.

In an international festival of literature, the translation can not but be present.
The organization of La Mar de Letras considers that the Spanish edition is greatly neglected so substantial part of the texts in another language writers rarely have a single translator to continue their development and their language is made to overturn it faithfully to our own language, which happens precisely in the guest with the writers that are expressed in a language other than French.
The issues surrounding this difficult task will be addressed by two translators of poetry and prose.
We could not miss in our program a tribute to the Oulipo, the workshop led by Marcel Bénabou, Secretary interim final group created by Georges Perec, which French-speaking participants in to the subtleties of the writing under slogan.
Creative games by limiting the word based on concrete proposals, explore its borders to draw from her all her wealth.
Poetry and music come together in a night show facing the sea: Insomnia: Franco-Spanish poetic encounter.
Readings of poems by French and Spanish poets, enlivened by the music of jazz that he composed another poet, Boris Vian, in the soft voice of Catherine Passion.
And from there everything will be talks, French writers interviewed, presented by specialists who know a work that breaks with the participants in our literary encounter.
They represent different approaches to literature that live in the French literary scene, from the more classical novel with touches of the genre that police, until Michel Houllebecq innovations, with particular attention to the narrative that comes from immigration, written by those who can contribute to the French, from their native languages, new thematic and formal records, such as Mohamed Razan or Andrei Makine.
Return to our workshops, where readers are in a privileged way with the author or the author of the novel they have read, in this case Clandestino of Eliett Abécassis or Grey Souls by Philippe Claudel.
