Conference, 7 p.m.

The image of France, Jews, and Blacks in the German cartoon (1923-1944)
The press cartoon is a reliable source for the historian. The German caricature is an essential support for understanding the rise and victory of Nazism. It refers directly to the sources of trauma li, made in 1918. In 1923, with the occupation of the Ruhr by French troops, anti-French and anti-Cold hatred reached a climax. The images produced in the interwar period played a role in the spread of a racist and anti-Semitic culture that could influence people’s minds: the Shoah. By Jo l Kotek, historian, my research fellow, the Free University of Brussels.

Philosophical meeting, 3:30 pm

Walter Benjamin
The thought and the fate of Walter Benjamin are in a way situated, the gold of the Shoah. His suicide: the autumn of 1940 marks the end of a Crivain that cannot be classified, whose work is largely built up in the analysis of the symptoms of a new vision of the world that he does not cease to fear and to reject.
Philosopher with Walter Benjamin, it’s both sifting through the same thing that fascism organized itself into, and also taking steps to do so in fields as diverse as politics, history, or economics.
In the presence of Michael L wy, sociologist, philosopher, research director at the CNRS and teacher, the EHESS, Philippe Simay, philosopher, program director at the Coll ge International de philosophie, Paris, Irving Wohlfarth, professor of German literature at the University of Reims.
Anim e by Vanessa Nurock, philosopher, researcher at the CEA.
