Is it possible to be too feminist?

With Sophie Bramly (photographer, artistic director, producer) and Marion Séclin (actress, screenwriter and director) Moderation: Tewfik Hakem. With the participation of Amélie Lavin, head curator of the Bodies, Appearances, Sexualities department at Mucem.
Do feminists do “too much”? They’re sometimes said to be too aggressive, too radical… But if feminism advocates equal rights for men and women, we might be tempted to think that you can never be “too much” of a feminist!

Eco-feminist thinking considers that there are similarities between systems of domination of women by men and systems of over-exploitation of nature by humans. Having emerged in the 1970s, this way of thinking is now enjoying renewed vigour in the context of the ecological emergency. Who are today’s eco-feminists? What are their demands and the tools they propose for building a desirable future? How can feminist thinking respond to the urgent issues of our time? Can women really save the...On Monday, Nov 21, 2022

Les Procès du siècle — Oser l'utopie
Cette quatrième saison des Procès du siècle propose d’explorer les utopies concrètes et réelles, les nouveaux modèles à inventer pour avancer vers plus de démocratie, plus d’écologie, plus de solidarité.
Pour vivre mieux, ensemble.
Cette saison 4 parlera d’éducation, de soin, de numérique, d’économie, d’architecture, d’agriculture, de circulations, de respect, de consentement, d’intelligence artificielle, des arbres et des oiseaux. Nous essaierons même parfois d’en rire.
Le Procès du siècle, délibérations citoyennes !
Comment parler des bouleversements récents qui touchent nos vies, nos sociétés, notre environnement ? Que disent-ils de notre rapport au temps et à l’espace ? Comment nous situons-nous aujourd’hui au cœur du monde et du vivant ? Quelles mutations, quelles révolutions sont à espérer ou à craindre ?
Le Procès du siècle appelle à la barre plaignants, accusés, témoins et avocats. Il en appelle avant tout à ses jurés, les citoyens.
