Universities under control

The collective work Critique de la raison universitaire, edited by Arnaud Bernadet, explores how certain identity-based, managerial, and activist ideologies undermine the foundations of science, reason, and academic freedom within Western universities, particularly in Canada and France. Through contributions from various academics, the book denounces the erosion of intellectual pluralism caused by censorship, EDI policies, the indigenization of knowledge, and the transformation of law into an instrument of activism, calling for a rigorous defense of academic autonomy as a requirement of truth.

A profound reversal of values ​​and benchmarks is currently affecting the intellectual, educational, and social spheres.

Decolonial Joy

The exhibition "Toward Joy: New Frameworks for American Art" at the Brooklyn Museum, curated by Stephanie Sparling Williams, offers a radical rereading of American art history by inverting power relations: works by non-white and women artists are foregrounded, while those by white artists are physically demeaned to force a reckoning with historical inequalities. This approach, hailed by some as a necessary deconstruction of the dominant narrative, is criticized by others as a form of radical activism that transforms the museum experience into an ideological display.

“The Insurrection of Particularities”: Chantal Delsol Faces the Decline of the Universal – a Review by Emmanuelle Hénin

In "Insurrection of Particularities," Chantal Delsol analyzes the decline of the universal in favor of a wokeness marked by relativism, the dictatorship of identities, and the questioning of rationality, which substitutes emotion and ideology for debate and science. She shows how this evolution leads to a democracy dominated by minorities, an excessive egalitarianism deconstructing all hierarchy, and a performative thought where truth is replaced by militant narratives imposed through intimidation. A review by Emmanuelle Hénin.
