The Autonomy of Anger: Ten Years of French Protests
2025-02-25 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Maison Française, 515 West 116th Street, New York, NY, 10027, United States
A Talk by Laurent Jeanpierre

France is experiencing a multiplication of protest movements, of which the so-called Yellow Vest movement in 2018-2019 is only the most original. I participated in this movement and observed directly or indirectly other movements of the last decade as well as the grievances collected by the French government from its population during the yellow vest movement (in “Cahiers” that recalled, albeit quite differently, those of the French Revolution). The result is a picture of French complaints and protests and their recent evolution. Here, we present a few features (and ask whether they can be found in other countries). Current French protests are more territorial, more critical of official organizations and, more focused on the sphere of reproduction (health, education, ecology). The failure of political parties to take up these complaints may well be one of the main reasons for the lasting difficulties of the Left in France. Electoral politics and protest politics are increasingly dissociated. Anger is becoming autonomous.
Laurent Jeanpierre is political scientist, Professor of Political Science at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and co-author of Une Histoire Globale des Révolutions.

A timely, can’t-miss program, whether you’re fascinated by Korean culture, geopolitics or regional security!

Against a backdrop of political chaos in South Korea and more nuclear tests by North Korea, what might be in store for the divided peninsula in 2025? Could Donald Trump reconcile with “Little Rocketman,” Kim Jong Un? Will proposed tariffs hurt South Korea or will there be carveouts for a U.S. ally and regional rival to China?
Caught among the world’s largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United States—Korea’s fate has always been closely connected to its geography and the strength of its leadership and society. Join us for a captivating discussion with Dr. Victor Cha and Prof. Ramon Pacheco Pardo, authors of Korea: A New History of South and North, a groundbreaking book that offers fresh insights into one of the world’s most dynamic and complex regions.
As Korea continues to shape global dynamics—from pop culture to North Korea’s support of Russia’s war in Ukraine—understanding the latest developments and the history of the Korean peninsula has never been more essential. A timely, can’t-miss program, whether you’re fascinated by Korean culture, geopolitics or regional security!

Presented by: Group for Independent Formation
Co-sponsored by: Greene Clinic

In “Freud and the Political,” Mladen Dolar rehearses the dual arguments so frequently made about Freud’s relationship to politics: either that there is conceptually no room for politics in psychoanalysis, or that—insofar as psychoanalysis theorizes the individual as bound up in and formed by the social Other—“politics are universally and ubiquitously present in Freud’s work.”
However, this binary screens a far more interesting proposition: that psychoanalysis and politics are necessarily in relation to each other; and that this relation is impossible. Psychoanalysis & Politics will start with this proposition.
Through in-depth interviews, roundtable discussions and other encounters exploring a constellation of questions—about group psychology, ideology, authorization, institutional life, statehood, and alternative forms of collectivity—this conference will inquire into the impossible relationship (conceptually, historically, and on the contemporary scene) between psychoanalysis and the political: asking not so much how the one can be applied to the other (psychoanalysis to politics or vice versa) but how each is conflictually implicated in the other.
In attempting to stage the questions that we ask, we will also work with untraditional conference structures that privilege and foster in-the-moment (vs. previously prepared) thinking and speech, thus putting the psychoanalytic procedure into the collective space—in order perhaps to witness something of the encounter between psychoanalysis and the political in real time.

It’s all fun & civics at Camp Congress for Girls Houston 2025. At this leadership camp girls study government, run for office & pass a bill.

Camp Congress for Girls Houston 2025 is a leadership program that introduces girls to U.S. politics. Camp begins with a lesson on the structure of our political system. Each girl will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a platform, campaign finance plan, and film a political ad. All campers will register to vote and then vote in an election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. All participants will receive Certificate of Completion.
