But there will also be Mussolini and myth, albeit deconstructed
This will be a sophisticated and historical treatment of Sorel, for anyone who wants to go past myth and Mussolini stuff. At a moment when all that is in fact also increasingly topical. 🗃️
Tommaso Giordani will present on Georges Sorel & revolutionary violence tomorrow at 2pm Paris time, Zoom link below. Talk is in French. Part of a working group on liberals and socialists confronting violence 1889-1989.

Yup
Generally not that interested in "totalitarianism" talk, but I do think social media has pretty clearly put pressure on the public/private divide with consequences we haven't yet grasped. Arendt wasn't all wrong.
