Didier Eribon: L鈥檌d茅e europ茅enne, la d茅mocratie, les r茅fugi茅s听

Des images fortes ont r茅cemment donn茅 脿 voir la nouvelle physionomie de l鈥橢urope : avec d鈥檜n c么t茅 des colonnes de migrants et de r茅fugi茅s cherchant 脿 茅chapper 脿 la guerre ou 脿 la mis猫re qui s茅vit dans leurs pays d鈥檕rigine et, de l鈥檃utre, des fronti猫res o霉 l鈥檕n construit des barri猫res, des grilles, des murs, des camps, gard茅es par des arm茅es de policiers Les discours politiques aussi ont chang茅, accompagnant la mont茅e des nationalismes et les scores 茅lectoraux des partis d鈥檈xtr锚me-droite. Il est n茅cessaire et urgent de relever le d茅fi, en r茅affirmant l鈥檌d茅al d鈥檜ne Europe d茅mocratique, qui soit ouverte et accueillante, mais qui ne pourra l鈥櫭猼re que si elle est une Europe sociale protectrice des plus d茅munis de ses habitants comme elle doit l鈥櫭猼re des exil茅s qui la rejoignent, en m锚me temps qu鈥檜ne Europe culturelle, tourn茅e vers l鈥檃venir et attach茅e 脿 d茅passer ses fronti猫res int茅rieures et ext茅rieures. Ce qui implique 茅videmment de repenser les cat茅gories th茅oriques et pratiques de la politique.

Didier Eribon is a leading French intellectual who is currently a professor at the School of Philosophy and Social Science at the University of Amiens. He has previously held visiting professorships at the University of Berkley and the School of Advanced Studies, Princeton.
