Antoni Martí Monterde, foix’s studious Antoni Martí Monterde, professor of Comparative Literature at the UB, has published an article in the Núvol in which he argues why the public library of Sarrià should be named after the poet J. V. Foix. The story begins as a dream, in fact, it is a dialogue between two of the most important writings of J. V. Foix: «Plaça Catalunya- Pedralbes» and «L’Estació» with a place, Plaça de Sarrià.

«M’exalta el nou i m’enamora el vell» is the J. V. Foix‘s verse Insensats have recently chosen to add to their t-shirts collection, along with those of five other authors. This collection also includes handbags.

Insensats aims to give more visibility to Catalan literature through t-shirts, each of which has an original design that illustrates the author’s text.

In 1932 a group of Catalan nationalist students founded the FNEC (Federació Nacional d’Estudiants de Catalunya) and in a short time it became the most representative student union in the country.

J. V. Foix was one of its first partners and already then he pointed out: «The students, in addition to studying, must be activists of what the revitalization of our culture and the social and political elevation of the country entail.»

Last year, Professor Lluís Cabré published in Studia Lulliana some «notes» based on J. V. Foix‘articles on Llull that appeared in La Publicitat between 1933 and 1936, and in other data from those years. These notes aim at portraying Foix’s unique identification with Llull’s oeuvre.
In addition, it is suggested that Llull’s Desconhort may be the source for the metaphysical pain conveyed at the beginning of Sol, i de dol.
