DESCRIPTION:New populisms and diverse paths of Euroscepicism
\nPublic debate and an academic conference \;
\nNovember 29-30\, 2017
\nVenue: \;Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, France
\nOrganizers: \;Monique Canto Sperber \;(ENS/CNRS) &\; \;Evens Foundation
\nThe rise of various forms of populism seems to be a blatant reality\, both in Europe and in the Western world in general. This is certainly not the first wave in the international history\, yet the impression of its originality is widespread. A technical novelty of the situation raises no doubts: all movements have a strong Internet presence\, and they use the web to broadcast their positions. The political situation is also unusual\, given the reassuring framework of the European Union. Yet this framework is increasingly designed as being the source of many problems\, which tend to erase the very reasons why it was established.
\nAfter 70 years since the signature of the Treaty of Rome\, we would like to raise a number of questions that seems to be relevant in most of the countries of contemporary Europe\, whether these questions are indeed new or they are only an enhanced version of an ever-existing phenomenon. We must get a better understanding of reasons why these problems arise in order to re-think the definition of the European project and find ways to answer these persistent worries.
\nThe conference will unite a number of expert of European issues\, political philosophy and political history of the continent.
\nWe would like to raise several questions\, including\, but not limited to\, what follows:
\n\n- Distrust toward elites (political\, intellectual\, scientific)
\n- Increasing similarity between the arguments used by the far right and the far left politicians
\n- The People and its enemies &ndash\; are immigrants part of the people?
\n- Sovereignty &ndash\; against whom and why?
\n- Identity &ndash\; cultural\, national\, religious or universalist?
\n- Anti-System discourses and ideologies (both in politics and in science\, with &ldquo\;alter-science&rdquo\;)
\n- Disqualification of public debate and of the notion of truth
\n
