Science at UM [S02-ep22]: From Marie Huot to Eurostim
This week on A l’UM la science, Sylvain Wagnon, researcher at Lirdef , presents his latest book entitled Marie Huot: libertarian, neo-Malthusian, anti-speciesist, theosophist... In the second part of the program, we head to Euromov , where Alexandre Legros opens the doors to the Eurostim. A program broadcast on Divergence FM 93.9 every Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Black Lives Matter, Me Too, Balance ton porc, Pride marches, Youth for Climate, L214, Extinction Rebellion. The beginning of the 21st century has been marked by numerous demands: greater social justice, of course, but above all greater equality between the sexes, between genders, between "races" (to use the term in its Anglo-Saxon sense), between human and non-human beings... These movements display their desire to bring together different struggles, to unite feminism, animal rights, and anti-racism under the same banner as the results of the same system of domination. Intersectionality, as it is called, has thus become the bogeyman of conservatives of all stripes who see it as the ultimate threat to a fantasized tradition.
And yet, what if I told you that at the end of the 19th century, women were already fighting not only for greater social justice but also for their own emancipation and against animal abuse, using arguments that would later become those of intersectionality? Close to the famous Louise Michel and the anarchist movement, Marie Huot was one of these fighters who was at once a libertarian, feminist, anti-speciesist, and theosophist.
Our guest is Sylvain Wagnon, a researcher at Lirdef, the interdisciplinary research laboratory for teaching, education, and training, who has just published a book entitled Marie Huot: libertarian, neo-Malthusian, anti-speciesist, theosophist..., , published by Atelier de création libertaire last April. In it, he shows how relevant her struggle remains today, drawing parallels between the birth strike advocated by Marie Huot at the end of the 19th century and the Birth Strike for Future movement launched in 2019.
In the second part of the program, the report takes you to Euromov. Alexandre Legros opens the doors to the Eurostim platform to stimulate your central and peripheral nervous systems and more precisely define the standards for exposure to electromagnetic fields, and possibly treat certain neurodegenerative diseases.
At UM Science, you have the program, so let's get started!
