Sylvain Bourmeau - Lancement d'essai

Sylvain Bourmeau is a journalist and the founder of the media outlet AOC. In this new essay, "Ils ne sont pas l'extrême droite, ils font l'extrême droite" (They are not the far right, they make the far right), to be published on August 20th by La Découverte, the author does not make a direct accusation, but raises a disturbing question: how can professionals who do not identify as far-right contribute, through their editorial or journalistic practices, to fostering its spread and legitimation? The far right is not advancing solely thanks to its supporters. It also progresses in the blind spots of those who fight it. In the name of pluralism, neutrality, or balance, certain media and political routines blur the lines. Sylvain Bourmeau uncovers these mechanisms in this investigation into what happens even before the vote: the slow manufacturing of a world where the far right becomes just another option. Launch event at Silencio on August 27th, doors open at 8:30 PM, discussion from 8:45 PM to 9:45 PM, followed by a book signing.
