Wokism and Cancel Culture: Conference by Thibault Delferirère
Between deconstructing structures of domination and attempting to erase intellectual and artistic works.
What do the notions of wokism and cancel culture cover?
What are their origins, history and current issues?
What are the wokists claiming and what means are they using to achieve their ends?
What concrete repercussions have their struggles had on the world in general and the intellectual and artistic worlds in particular?
Is it legitimate to attack the integrity of a work or even to make a creator disappear in the name of causes such as anti-racism, feminism, decolonialism, and all the other struggles against discrimination linked to gender, physical appearance, etc.?
These are the questions that Thibault Delférière will address in his talk, which is both highly practical and reflective. As a philosophy graduate and a multi-disciplinary artist, he will explore these questions and then open the floor to debate with the audience.
