This section brings together all the analyses classified under this theme.

The secular framework of the secularization of shared spaces is under threat. "Race" is promoted as a "grid for reading the world", in the very words of the President of the CNRS. In reality, the violence is indeed on the side of decolonial thought, which intends to impose silence on those who do not fit into the framework that they claim to impose in the name of an ideology that they struggle to name. The open society, presented as an improbable horizon, is only a pretext to legitimize in the eyes of its zealous promoters the exercise of force for the advent of an "open future".[1]16 “The Future is Open” is the title of a collection of exchanges between Konrad Lorenz and Karl Popper (1999).Who does not see the seeds of tyranny in this masquerade?

Woke ideology has long since penetrated the daily life of the business world and public administration. There are major and unavoidable phenomena that everyone thinks about. And there are these little everyday things, against which we don't know what to do, and which nibble away at our space of freedom every day. What are some examples? Where does it come from? What can we do?

Three American university presidents have strangely revealed, without even realizing it, their adherence to the brown plague of anti-Semitism. Questioned by a parliamentary committee, they shamelessly asserted that the condemnation of the call for the genocide of the Jews "depends on the context."

Democracy, universalism, rationality, secularism and freedom of expression – all values trampled by the woke movement, by Nathalie Heinich.

On the ideological mechanics of anti-Zionist discourses and the rise of identity positions through the 'Plenel method': a way of diverting the words "morality" and "politics" from their meaning.

Interview with Xavier-Laurent Salvador: In about ten years, wokeism, intersectionality, decolonialism, racialism and all their combinations have entered public life. What are we talking about? What are their roots?

Many have taken the side of death: the humanists, for their part, will continue to believe in man. So, no: we will not forget Camus!

The European Research Council (ERC) budget for the seven-year Horizon Europe programme amounts to €16 billion, dedicated to EU member states and associated nations, under the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FPRI). Is France autonomous in its higher education policy? No, because it conforms to European policies inspired by the United Nations aimed at achieving externally set objectives. Over the past 15 years, research and higher education in France have been silently transformed, partly influenced by the Anglo-Saxon liberal models established by Brussels.

No sociologist who cares about preserving a minimum of dignity and credibility for the latter can identify with a group that dishonors itself in this way. As for those who support this distressing motion, we suggest that they reserve their activism for the radical left, whose positions they are thus borrowing. A text signed by:
