Read more The Université populaire du pays de Foix (UPPF) invited Philippe Merlant, journalist, for a gesticulated conference on the theme of "The Perfume of the Man in White", a mischievous nod to "The Perfume of the Lady in Black". The conference confronts "hot" knowledge from personal experience with "cold" knowledge, academic and from readings. With his faithful Joseph Rouletabille as a virtual partner, he unfolds sequences of his life to study the social processes he is confronted with during his studies at the Saint-Cloud high school and during his professional experiences. He repeatedly calls out to the large audience (about fifty people) gathered on Thursday, March 23 in a room at the Estive and summons sociologists, writers and other specialists whose photos he hangs on a clothesline stretched behind him. Domination is an invisible process that proceeds, according to Pierre Bourdieu, from the social determinism between men and women. The speaker discusses his years of literacy and defense of immigrant workers with Bourdieu's theory in mind: "What the social world has done, the social world can undo." He talks about his job as a journalist and the difficulties of transmitting information. He comments on a program "Les Informés" on Gisèle Halimi by pointing out the errors. Finally, he gives an explanation of the text on current terms (racialized, intersectionality, Islamo-leftist, woke, ...) to end this rich and very interesting conference.
