What is real and what is fake? And why does it matter? As soon as objects, texts and utterances (be they pragmatic or artistic) become imbued with a sense of authority or authenticity, there is a potential to produce other objects, texts and utterances which mimic and attempt to siphon off that authority and authenticity.

Les contes merveilleux, la Bible hébraïco-chrétienne et les mythes gréco-romains partagent l’intervention du surnaturel dans le récit. Le conte se donne d’emblée comme « bagatelle », mais la Bible comme vérité révélée, tandis que les mythes suscitent une question rétrospective, celle de savoir si les Grecs y ont crus (Paul Veyne). Ces trois corpus peuvent se définir comme des genres littéraires spécifiques, présentant une certaine homogénéité morphologique, si ce n’est thématique.

The ability to publicly negotiate, to have conversation and to utilise political language appears to be in crisis. The politics of now is a politics defined by our inability to speak to one another. Donald Trump, Brexit and Migration have exposed the fissues in our communities and the inability for civil and political leaders to find common ground. Yet, it has never been so easy to talk to one another: the use of Twitter by movements such as Black Lives Matter and #metoo shows the benefits and limitations of a new public sphere.
La méchanceté et la cruauté se mesurent-elles? Ces formes de violences décrivent des comportements qui prennent leur source chez une personnalité déviante, dangereuse. Interroger ces perversions c’est comprendre les motivations qui initient l’attitude, les amonts de la violence, étant entendu qu’elle peut demeurer à l’état de projet.
