D'interdit d'interdire à l'interdiction de l'offense ? – Caroline Fourest

Guest: Caroline Fourest, editorial director of Franc-Tireur and essayist (Offended Generation: From Cultural Policing to Thought Policing, Grasset, 2020). Every day brings its own controversy: a group, a minority, an individual elevated to the status of representative of a cause, demands, threatens, and forces compliance, based on their sense of offense. The risk? Assigning our identities and censoring our democratic exchanges. During the interview, Caroline Fourest explores the excesses of identity-based anti-racism and responds to accusations of cultural appropriation, which can threaten freedom of expression and, above all, artistic creation. Fourest proposes a feminist and anti-racist, universalist approach that distinguishes between cultural plundering and cultural homage. Liber-thé, the media outlet that infuses freedom.
