Chaque jour, nous subissons des injonctions toujours plus fortes pour utiliser l'IA générative dans nos métiers. Chaque jour, ceux et celles qui refusent s'entendent dire qu'elles ou ils n'ont pas essayé récemment, qu'elles ou ils vont rester en arrière, qu'elles ou ils ne comprennent rien, qu'elles ou ils sont des luddites.
Alors voilà ma réponse à tout ça ; non je ne suis pas borné, et je suis tout à fait prêt à utiliser l'IAg. Une fois que ces quelques problèmes seront résolus.

Le 2 avril 2026 aura lieu une nouvelle audience, nouvelle étape de la vingt-huitième année de harcèlement judiciaire subie par la sociologue et militante Pinar Selek. Accusée de terrorisme après une explosion mortelle au marché aux épices d'Istanbul en 1998, acquittée à quatre reprises, elle est à nouveau renvoyée devant les juges, sans motivation, alors qu'une demande de mandat d'arrêt et d'extradition à son encontre est réitérée. L'origine de cette répression ? Une recherche sociologique.

Following Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's resignation in response to mass Gen Z-led protests, Nepal goes to the polls on 5 March. Some 19 million people — including 837,000 new voters — will choose from 120 registered parties. With unemployment and governance failures eclipsing traditional ideological debates, anti-corruption and inclusion demands have dominated the campaign.

« Je ne savais pas encore que j'étais devenu un objet. Je me découvrais objet au milieu d'autres objets », écrit Frantz Fanon en 1952. Le 17 mars 2026, Apolline de Malherbe reprend une fake news d'extrême droite en interrogeant Bally Bakayoko, élu maire de Saint-Denis : il aurait appelé celle-ci « ville des Noirs ». Fanon savait.

A genocide in Gaza that the world watched and allowed to happen. The Epstein files. Parliamentary scandals. Corruption so deep nobody can see the bottom. A war on Iran launched days after a peace deal was within reach. Most of us have lost faith in the people running things. And that loss of faith is opening the door to something we should all be watching closely: the steady transfer of decision-making power to algorithms and AI systems that are not neutral, not accountable, and not safe.

The eager obituary writers tended to announce that #MeToo had failed whenever further incidents of high-profile sexual abuse were reported (though the very fact they were reported and in some cases successfully prosecuted may have been a result of these shifts). The single most important impact of #MeToo, I believe, is akin to what many environmental victories look like: nothing, in the absolute best sense of that word. Success for many environmental campaigns is the river that was not dammed or polluted, the forest that was not cut down, the species that did not go extinct, the oil wells that were not dug, the coal that was not burned. Unfortunately, these results are invisible if you don't know why the river is flowing freely, the birds are singing or the meadow near your home wasn't paved over.

Freyd's work also led her to another concept with incredible value and usefulness today, DARVO. DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It's a pattern Freyd identified in how perpetrators of violence respond when confronted. However, institutions also use this strategy, and they often have more power and resources, allowing them to be more effective than individuals.
Today, DARVO is a weapon wielded against the public by people and institutions meant to represent and protect us as citizens. The handling of the Epstein files, for instance, follows the classic abuser's playbook identified by Freyd: the obstruction, and then slow-walk, of selectively redacted release of information (Deny); the constant discrediting and threatening of survivors (Attack); the protection of powerful men's identities, reputations, and privacy (Reverse Victim and Offender). Asymmetrical power and the government's use of “transparency” have exposed victims' identities while masking those of the powerful. At various points, their names. Faces. Bodies. Addresses. Families.
This is what a system protecting itself does. DARVO, in the Epstein case, has consistently made victims the face of the crimes and ensured that the network that enabled Epstein remains an abstract force.
For many women, especially women of color who have never had the luxury of trusting these systems in the first place, the Epstein situation is confirming our worldview. The distress we are feeling isn't borne of surprise or even outrage, but deep grief and rage. It's the exhausting weight of living in a world that continues to tell women that we don't matter, not even as children. What the Epstein case is doing, however, is showing many more people that the men most likely to talk about protecting “their” girls and women are the ones most likely to feel entitled to do to girls and women whatever they please.
