Françoise Balibar in Conversation - March 2, 2011
The Humanities and Arts Research Centre (HARC) at
Royal Holloway University of London presents:
Françoise Balibar in Conversation
The Collège International de Philosophie (CIPh) can be viewed as, and in fact is, a by-product of the French May `68 revolt. That it started among students, especially students in philosophy, had two consequences in the following years: firstly, there was a major demand for more reflection on political and philosophical matters among those who had participated in the movement; secondly, the political (and centralized) power, once it had regained mastery of the situation, was naturally inclined to reduce the importance of philosophy, a discipline taught in the lycées and at the university level, and viewed as subversive. I shall examine how the conjunction of these two factors (a new interest in philosophy outside the field of its professional and traditional practice and the attacks on its very existence inside the educational system) resulted in the search for a renewed practice of philosophy among a group of philosophers around Jacques Derrida. I shall review the different steps which led, in 1983, to the foundation of the CIPh. It will appear that, from the beginning, the CIPh was at the same time inside the institution (its birth was made possible by the election of Mitterrand as President in 1981 and the renewal of the administration which ensued); but also outside of the institution, `sans référence aux garanties, hiérarchies ou légitimités antérieures’ (Derrida).
