(en) France, UCL AL #346 - Culture, Read Suzanne Citron: Legatees without inheritance, Thoughts for another world (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:05:04 +0200


The title is intriguing, as are the book and the history of its publication. It is "a door[...]or, rather, another door leading to another door.» Open doors, open horizons. The author begins with a lucid and disillusioned observation on the left, and beyond, on politics. She describes and questions the incapacity of political language to grasp and understand the daily lives of people, because it is too outside, too disconnected from everyday life, analyzing this divorce as the fruit of the cultural heritage of the elites: coded language, scholar, coming from this ancient culture which cemented their intellectual training.

It develops "the notion of politics as a space of power external to daily life". Then, she approaches the lands of Anthropian memory, travels through the territories of prehistory and anthropology, confronts societies before writing and those without a state, and achieves perspective between our Western cultural heritage. , its genesis then its evolution.

A dogmatic, unique, totalitarian order has been constructed, the "original caesura in civilization": the State. A conceptual matrix emerges, leading to bureaucracy, violence, a world of oppression and domination.

She then begins to dream, to imagine another, providing keys to help demystify our experience, to explore our experience. Decompartmentalize, free society from this cultural straitjacket and work for the self-institution of society, a vast program that we intend to pursue. A book, not always an easy read, but which is worth the detour for all the questions and questions it raises.

Dominique Sureau (UCL Angers)
