Philosopher Sandra Laugier on Freedom of Expression and Public Sphere Brutality

Sandra Laugier, philosopher: 'In France as in the US, never has freedom of expression been so invoked by its enemies'

The recent crisis that erupted at Grasset is symptomatic of a new wave of brutality in the public sphere, argues academic Sandra Laugier for Le Monde. According to Laugier, popular culture is far more resistant than certain intellectual circles, which wrongly believe themselves to be protected from the far right's predations.
