The prize was actually for the thesis, which should have been published, but 
they ask me to write the story of the thesis, to denounce the bullying in 
academies, which I did. The jury of the prize, led by Edgar Morin, knew that 
the thesis was written under very peculiar circumstances. But the prize 
disappeared, and I guess “academies” still protect themselves more 
efficaciously than the Church or Hollywood.

I know that they differ, but still don’t know which one is which. So I tend to 
use price and prize randomly if I have no help from the context. I confess, and 
apologise.
