Pourquoi la guerre aujourdâhui?
Documentary
Synopsis
On 19 February 2003, four days after an international day of protest against the imminent invasion of Iraq, RenĂ© Major and the Institut des hautes Ă©tudes en psychanalyse organized a public debate in Paris between Jacques Derrida and Jean Baudrillard: âPourquoi la guerre aujourdâhui?â In the twelve years between the debate and its publication in book form, the âwar on terrorâ has escalated in an often unpredictable manner. However, the discussion between Derrida and Baudrillard has proven to be prescient, and their analyses remain useful for thinking the contemporary geopolitical moment.
