This is the starting point of Dans le ventre, Zazie Tavitian's podcast (produced by Sony Music France and broadcast in Louie Media's Manger feed). To carry out her exploration, the journalist sits down in a Parisian chocolate shop with her guest of the day: feminist and anti-racist author Rokhaya Diallo. After a few words about her immoderate taste for sweets, the exchange takes a turn that is both more intimate and universal by addressing the political dimension of food. The activist explains in particular how the history of food is linked to that of colonization, taking the example of breakfast, "structured around everything that Europeans produced in the context of slavery, such as coffee, sugar and cocoa". A promising discussion, which unfortunately does not have time to be explored and nourished. The episode ends too quickly, and the listener is left hungry. Too bad.

The "list of perpetrators of genocide" published by historian Julien Théry primarily stigmatizes Jewish figures simply because they defend Israel's right to exist. An opinion piece by Xavier-Laurent Salvador and Patrick Henriet calls for combating antisemitism in all its forms.

Did you say academic freedom? Regarding a hemanoptic report commissioned by France Universités

The recent publication of a report on academic freedom has obviously generated immense interest from the Observatory of University Ethics, especially since our Observatory is mentioned extensively in it, one of whose missions is precisely to denounce the multiple attacks on academic freedom and which has published several editorials and articles on this subject on its website.
