    [Fr] STÉFANIE PREZIOSO - L'ITALIE, ORPHELINE DE L'ANTIFASCISME

    Cet entretien a été mené en Français - This interview was conducted in French Retrouvez cet entretien et son dossier explicatif sur https://www.diagrammes.fr/fr/folders/l-italie-orpheline-de-l-antifascisme Durée : 2h28 Stefanie Prezioso est une historienne spécialiste de l’Europe du XXe siècle. Docteure en histoire de l'Université de Lausanne depuis 2002, elle y est aujourd’hui professeure d’histoire contemporaine à l'Institut d'études politiques. Elle a été membre du Conseil scientifique de la Mission du Centenaire de la Première Guerre mondiale, réunissant des spécialistes internationaux de premier plan. Son savoir apporte un cadre critique d’analyse de la façon dont l'érosion de la vigilance antifasciste peut affaiblir les institutions démocratiques. Dans cet entretien, Stéfanie Prezioso revient sur les mécanismes historiques qui ont rendu possible la normalisation des droites radicales en Italie et, à travers elle, en Europe. Elle analyse les enchaînements qui, depuis la fondation de la Première République, ont sapé la légitimité de l’antifascisme et permis la réhabilitation progressive des héritiers du régime mussolinien. De la volonté de réconciliation nationale des démocrates-chrétiens à la discipline imposée au parti communiste par Moscou, en passant par les contestations de Mai 68, les années de plomb et l'échec du compromis historique, elle montre comment l’effacement de la vigilance antifasciste a fragilisé la capacité de la démocratie italienne à identifier ses adversaires. Elle retrace également la manière dont l’effondrement de l’ancien système partisan, les scandales de corruption et la recomposition du champ politique ont préparé l’ascension d’une droite hybride et déjà extrémisée, dont Silvio Berlusconi fut la figure inaugurale. L’entretien met aussi en lumière la continuité et les différences entre les coalitions bâties autour de Forza Italia et la configuration actuelle, dominée par Fratelli d’Italia et dirigée par Giorgia Meloni. Si cette dernière bénéficie de la confiance des partenaires européens de l’Italie, son gouvernement, selon Prezioso, franchit une étape inédite : il ne se contente plus d’effacer la mémoire de l’antifascisme, mais s’emploie désormais à le criminaliser, à la manière de ce que l’on peut observer aux Etats-Unis sous l’ère Trump. Malgré cette dérive inquiétante, Stéfanie Prezioso souligne que la persistance de l’antifascisme comme repoussoir démontre sa force continue : loin d'être un vestige du passé, il demeure une ressource politique essentielle pour comprendre et combattre la droitisation à l'œuvre.

  2. [Eng] NAOMI ORESKES - THE MANUFACTURE OF DENIAL

    [Eng] NAOMI ORESKES - THE MANUFACTURE OF DENIAL

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at https://www.diagrammes.fr/en/folders/the-manufacture-of-denial  Duration: 1h02 Naomi Oreskes is an Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. She is an accomplished earth scientist, historian, and public speaker known for her extensive research on the interplay between science, society, and politics. Her work brings critical insights into how scientific knowledge shapes and is shaped by broader cultural and political forces. Her expertise centers on the role of science in society, the reality of anthropogenic climate change, and the pervasive impact of disinformation campaigns that obstruct climate action. In our video interview, Naomi Oreskes discusses the enduring struggle against climate denialism, tracing its roots from tobacco and acid rain skepticism in the 1980s to the far more aggressive and politicized climate denial tactics witnessed today. She elaborates on how the rise of authoritarianism, notably during Donald Trump’s presidency, has fueled a backlash against environmental progress by empowering actors she calls the “merchants of doubt.” Instead of merely discrediting scientific facts, these actors now seek to dismantle the institutions that produce climate research, threatening efforts to address global warming. Oreskes also highlights the stark power imbalance in the climate crisis: while powerful fossil fuel interests use their proximity to political power to maintain the status quo, vulnerable populations around the world face the gravest consequences of inaction. The deliberate production of ignorance, she argues, has become a highly effective weapon wielded by the far right to stall meaningful climate solutions.  Our interview, conducted in Boston in March 2025, delves deeply into these urgent issues, offering a vital perspective on the challenges and stakes of contemporary climate politics.

    [Eng] VERÓNICA GAGO - THE ARGENTINIAN LABORATORY

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at https://www.diagrammes.fr/en/folders/le-laboratoire-argentin  Duration: 2h07  Verónica Gago is a prominent Argentinian scholar and activist whose work bridges critical political economy, feminist theory, and the study of grassroots movements. A professor at the University of Buenos Aires and UNSAM, and a member of CONICET, she has been involved in major feminist mobilizations across Latin America, including Ni Una Menos, Marea Verde, and the Feminist Strike.From her role in the collective Tinta Limón Ediciones to her coordination of feminist research groups, Veronica Gago challenges the traditional boundaries between academia and activism.  Feminism, as she understands it, does not only deal with issues that are specific to women, such as reproductive rights. Instead, it should be treated as a perspective from which we can understand a wide range of economic, social, and political issues. Her collaborative book A Feminist Reading of the Debt exemplifies this approach: examining the deregulation of financial transactions, austerity programs, and even the ascendency of cryptocurrency through a feminist lens. Veronica Gago shows how macropolitical measures affect and are affected by microsocial practices; or, to use her own terms, how neoliberalism from above interacts with “neoliberalism from below” (the title of her 2014 book). In our conversation, Veronica Gago reflects on the advent of Javier Milei, the libertarian president of Argentina.Just as Chile under Augusto Pinochet was a laboratory for the upcoming neoliberal era, Milei’s Argentina plays the role of a pilot experiment vis-à-vis the mutant neoliberal regimes that are currently taking over the world. Striking features of these new formations include the overtly sadistic deployment of cruelty as a mobilizing tool but also the masochistic appeal to sacrifice, in the name of the nation or even of freedom.  To ward off bleak political horizon, Veronica Gago bets on the transformative power of feminist organizing, celebrating la potencia feminista as a “desire to change everything.” Her work can truly serve as a remedy against militant depression. CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 – Introduction to ARGENTINIAN LABORATORY 00:07:44 - (Chap.1) Collective Experiences of Political Formation 00:19:18 - (Chap.2) New Neoliberal Subjectivations 00:30:03 - (Chap.3) Baroque Entreprenerial Impulses 00:42:58 - (Chap.4) Feminist Organization and Resistance From Below 00:59:13 - (Chap.5) The (Un)Surprising Rise of Milei  01:10:10 - (Chap.6) Occupying the State to Destroy It 01:18:26 - (Chap.7)The Speculative and Sacrificial Generation 01:34:17 - (Chap.8) Gender Identifications and Interpellations 01:53:44 - (Chap.9) Neofascism from Above and from Below 01:58:40 - (Chap.10) Joyful Militancy in Critical Context Interviewed by Michel Feher and Eric Fassin Conducted on the 1st of April 2025 in Paris Directed by Jean-Charles Ho Van Cam and Thierry Corroyer Produced by Aurélie Windels Dossier: Alexandra Bucher and Thomas Gmuer Visual Research : Sophie Liner Music by Laz Lo, Eeryskies, Damiens Simons Voice : Amanda Bay Podcast production : Deborah Le Grand Subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

  4. [Eng] DANIELA GABOR - THE WALL STREET CONSENSUS

    [Eng] DANIELA GABOR - THE WALL STREET CONSENSUS

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at https://www.diagrammes.fr/en/folders/the-wall-street-consensus Duration: 2h41 Daniela Gabor is a heterodox economist and professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, where she has established herself as one of the leading international scholars of macro-finance. She earned her PhD in Banking and Finance from the University of Stirling in 2009 and draws inspiration from post-Keynesian economist Hyman Minsky for her critical approach to the relationship between finance and the State. As an expert consultant for the European Parliament, the G20, the United Nations, and several central banks, she bridges academic research with high-level policy debates. Her forthcoming book, to be published by Norton, will focus on what she calls the “Wall Street Consensus.” Focusing on the current interactions among central banks, repo markets, Treasuries and private investors, Daniela Gabor has developed the concept of the de-risking State to describe the growing role of governments in steering and securing private investment deemed socially or politically desirable, for example in the context of climate transition. She is also the author and co-editor of several key volumes in political economy, including Central Banking at a Crossroads (2014), The Routledge Companion to Banking Regulation and Reform (2017), and Rewriting the Rules of the European Economy (2019), co-authored with Joseph Stiglitz and Isabel Ortiz. In this video, Daniela Gabor offers a critical analysis of the evolution of macro-financial regimes, from Bretton Woods and the Washington Consensus to the current Wall Street Consensus. She shows how shifts in economic governance reflect political struggles over the role of private finance in delivering public goods. She questions whether de-risking strategies represent a genuine break with neoliberal orthodoxy or a rebranded form of greenwashing and privatization of the public sphere. Finally, she examines the uncertain future of the Wall Street Consensus in the face of geopolitical turbulence, pointing to the return of the whining hegemon as a possible omen of impending marco-financial change. CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 – Introduction to THE WALL STREET CONSENSUS 00:07:40 - (Chap.1) Critical Macro-Finance 00:20:32 - (Chap.2) The Formation of a “Consensus” 00:25:40 - (Chap.3) The Demise of Postwar Regimes 00:43:37 - (Chap.4) Washington Consensus VS Wall Street Consensus 00:52:31 - (Chap.5) The investibility pact  01:11:51 - (Chap.6) On Derisking 01:22:23 - (Chap.7)Varieties of Partnerships 01:31:48 - (Chap.8) Sticks and Carrots? 01:47:14 - (Chap.9) Speculations on the Trump factor 02:11:25 - (Chap.10) Mutations and Resilience of the Wall Street Consensus 02:26:19 - (Chap.11) Toward the Big Green State?

Professeur à l'Université américaine de Paris, il dirige le programme des études du Moyen-Orient et enseigne la science politique ainsi que les relations internationales. Auteur et chercheur reconnu, il s’est spécialisé dans l'étude des transitions démocratiques, des réformes politiques et du rôle de la société civile au Liban, en Syrie et plus largement au sein du monde arabe. Son engagement l’a amené à contribuer à la fondation du mouvement de la gauche démocratique et à participer au soulèvement de l'indépendance du Liban en 2005.  Dans cette vidéo, Ziad Majed examine les transformations qui ont affecté les États et les sociétés du Proche-Orient depuis les Accords d’Abraham jusqu'à la campagne génocidaire menée par Israël après les attaques terroristes du Hamas le 7 Octobre 2023. Il propose une analyse de l’incidence régionale et globale des bouleversements en cours, en portant une attention particulière au Liban et à la Syrie. L’entretien s’attache à évaluer les marges de manœuvre des gouvernements de Beyrouth et de Damas, concurremment confrontés aux conflits internes, aux ambitions des puissances avoisinantes – la Turquie, l’Arabie saoudite, l’Iran, le Qatar, l’Égypte – et à l’expansionnisme israélien - soutenu par les États-Unis.  Notre entretien avec Ziad Majed a eu lieu à Paris en deux épisodes: le premier, le 9 mai 2025, alors que Donald Trump s’apprêtait à rencontrer Mohammed Ben Salmane à Riyadh; le second, le 30 août 2025, soit deux mois après les bombardements israéliens et américains sur l’Iran.  CHAPITRES: 00:00:00 – Introduction à Moyen Orient, année zéro 00:06:31 - (Chap.1) Donald Trump et l’Iran, le temps de l’indécision   00:25:53 -.(Chap.2) Israël sur trois fronts  00:37:44 - (Chap.3) Le reste du monde arabe : tétanisation et attentisme  00:47:34 - (Chap.4) Après la chute de la maison Assad : de l’euphorie à l’angoisse 01:00:50 - (Chap.5) Les premiers pas d’Ahmed Al-Charaa  01:27:01 - (Chap.6) Les marges de manoeuvre du gouvernement libanais 01:48:41 - (Chap.7) La question kurde 02:07:08 - (Chap.8) Moments fondateurs du Moyen-Orient contemporain  02:38:46 - (Chap.9) L’Iran après la guerre des douze jours 02:54:31 - (Chap.10) La décomposition de “l’axe de la résistance”: Liban, Irak 03:11:00 - (Chap.11) L’acharnement israélien en Syrie 03:29:51 - (Chap.12) Quel horizon ?

    BANDE-ANNONCE SAISON 1

    [Fr] DIAGRAMMES - ÉPISODE BANDE ANNONCE

    Bonjour et bienvenue sur Diagrammes, un média indépendant et bilingue basé à Paris et à New York. Parce que résister à la droitisation du monde impose d’abord d’en prendre la mesure, Diagram[me]s propose toutes les trois semaines, et en accès libre, un ou plusieurs longs entretiens avec des chercheurs, des journalistes et des activistes. Rejoignez-nous ! Le monde se droitise à une cadence infernale. Le mouvement qui l’emporte est concurremment imprimé par des bruts qui invoquent la sécurité de leur peuple pour remodeler leur voisinage, des oligarques qui profitent de leur proximité avec le pouvoir pour faire main basse sur les ressources de l’État, et des faiseurs d’opinions payés par les seconds pour légitimer les basses œuvres des premiers. Mais sa trajectoire bénéficie en outre de la complaisance d’acteurs politiques et d’experts censément attachés au droit et à la raison, ainsi que de la perméabilité croissante des électorats aux désirs d’épuration que nourrit le ressentiment. Parce qu’entraver la poursuite d’une telle dérive suppose d’abord de mieux la comprendre, Diagrammes ambitionne de rejoindre le réseau des sites où les composantes de l’actuel « cap au pire » sont inventoriées et analysées.  Avec un nouvel épisode diffusé chaque mois, Diagrammes propose des entretiens approfondis avec des universitaires, des journalistes et des militants. Notre objectif est de mettre en lumière des recherches qui éclairent le présent et d'offrir une perspective plus claire sur les lignes de fracture de notre monde en pleine mutation. Vous venez d’écouter Diagrammes. Si vous préférez le format vidéo, vous pouvez retrouver chaque épisode sur notre chaîne YouTube ou sur notre site www.diagrammes.fr, vous y trouverez également des dossiers complémentaires et d’autres ressources spécialement préparées pour vous par l’équipe Diagrammes.

    [Eng] JOE LOWNDES - POSTDEMOCRACY IN AMERICA

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at https://www.diagrammes.fr/en/folders/postdemocracy-in-america  Duration: 2h01 Joe Lowndes is a prominent scholar of American politics, specializing in the study of right-wing movements, populism, and race. He holds a PhD in Political Science from The New School for Social Research and is currently a Visiting Distinguished Lecturer at Hunter College, after having served as Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon.  Lowndes is the author of influential works such as “From the New Deal to the New Right: Race and the Southern Origins of Modern Conservatism” and, with Daniel Martinez HoSang, “Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity”.  His ongoing research includes co-editing “The Politics of the Multiracial Right” and writing “Adventures in Post-Democracy”, an ethnographic exploration of the growing authoritarian tendencies within American political culture. In our interview, Joe Lowndes traces the evolution of the American right from the early 1990s to the present, highlighting key moments such as Pat Buchanan’s failed 1992 campaign, the rise of the Tea Party during the Obama years, and the transformation of the Republican Party under Donald Trump. He offers a striking analysis of how events often portrayed as crises—such as the Charlottesville rally, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, and the January 6th Capitol assault—have, paradoxically, served to radicalize and embolden Trump’s base.  Lowndes also examines the emergence of a multiracial far-right, evidenced by increased minority support for Trump and the participation of activists of color in extremist groups, while emphasizing that racism and xenophobia remain central to Trump 2.0.  Finally, he reflects on the blind spots and avoidance techniques of both liberals and the left, noting their reluctance to confront the challenges posed by the new configuration of the American political landscape. A profound and indispensable analysis for understanding the ongoing transformations of American democracy—and the political challenges they pose far beyond the United States.

    [Eng] MELINDA COOPER - REVOLUTIONARY CONSERVATISM

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at https://www.diagrammes.fr/en/folders/revolutionary-conservatism  Duration: 1h56 Melinda Cooper is currently professor in the School of Sociology at the Australian National University. She earned her Doctorate from the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes-St-Denis) in 2001. She is the author of Life as Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era (2008), Clinical Labour: Tissue Donors and Research Subjects in the Global Economy (with Catherine Waldby, 2014), Family Values: Between Neoliberalism and the New Social Conservatism (2017) and Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (2024). Her most recent book Counterrevolution exposes the logic of neoliberal public finance, which mandates crushing austerity for wage earners alongside extravagant fiscal and monetary generosity for asset holders. The book demonstrates how this dual imperative has transformed the DNA of capitalism, turning capital gains into the primary profit form and, by that token, precipitating the advent of a new “gilded age.” In this video, Melinda Cooper’s applies her incisive analysis to the most recent transformations of capitalism. As the neoliberal counterrevolution reaches its limits, what lies ahead is neither a return to Keynesianism nor a break with a capitalism, but a new phase in the mutation of neoliberalism: one marked by the unprecedented concentration of capital in the hands of a new generation of “robber barons.” The multinationals of the past are being replaced by former startups, now publicly traded yet still entirely controlled by their founders. To maintain their unchecked power, these oligarchs rely on the backing of political leaders such as Donald Trump, who are likewise committed to dismantling the counterpowers that define the rule of law. This is what Melinda Cooper calls revolutionary conservatism: a project that blends nostalgia for a mythical past with a cult of the visionary entrepreneur, in pursuit of the final liquidation of democracy. An essential analysis for understanding the political stakes of our time.

    [Eng] EYAL WEIZMAN - GENOCIDAL INTENT

    This interview was conducted in English. Find this interview and its explanatory dossier on our website. Duration: 2h04 Eyal Weizman, an Israeli-British architect and professor at Goldsmiths, University of London, is the founder and director of the research collective Forensic Architecture. In this interview, we recount the origins, discuss the methodology and explain the evolution of Forensic Architecture, both the agency and the discipline, until the recent publication of A Cartography of Genocide. We also retrace the longstanding involvement of the collective with the Palestinian cause, shed light on troubling resonances between the ongoing Israeli campaign in Gaza and genocidal precedents in Namibia and Guatemala, and examine the contemporary backlash against movements of solidarity with Palestine.

    [Eng] THEA RIOFRANCOS - EXTRACTIVISM, GREEN AND BROWN

    This interview was conducted in English Find this interview and its explanatory dossier on our website. Duration: 1h52 Thea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College and a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute. Her research focuses on resource extraction, climate change, the global lithium sector, green technologies, and the Latin American left. She is the author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism and Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador, and the coauthor of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal. In our conversation, Thea shows how renewable and fossil extractivism is not merely a localized operation of resource removal, but an enduring political and economic regime. She highlights the growing fusion of climate goals, industrial imperatives, and geopolitical strategies. It marks a new phase of green capitalism that displaces the failures of market-based mechanisms with tensions of its own. This interview reframes contemporary resource politics within the long arc of extractive geoeconomics, from the oil crisis to Biden’s green policies and Trump 2.0.

    17/12/2025

    [Eng] QUINN SLOBODIAN - LATE NEOLIBERALISM

    This interview was conducted in English Find this interview and its explanatory dossier at LATE NEOLIBERALISM - DIAGRAMMES Duration: 1h57 Quinn Slobodian is a professor of history at Boston University and a specialist in neoliberal thought. He is the author of Globalists.The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism, Crack-Up Capitalism, Market radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy, and Hayek’s Bastards. Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right. Diagram[me]s invited him to trace the genealogy of trumpism. Rather than portraying Trump as a champion of a populist break with the neoliberalism of the late 20th century, Slobodian depicts him as a beneficiary of that doctrine’s transformations. He shows how the libertarian wing of the neoliberal movement came to stake the future of economic liberalism on curbing migration flows, rehabilitating race-based IQ theories, and strengthening the executive branch at the expense of the rule of law. He also shows how the reconfiguration of financial capitalism after the 2008 crisis first allowed tech entrepreneurs to amass enormous fortunes, and then encouraged them to seize the levers of political power. CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 – Introduction to Late Neoliberalism 00:05:16 - (Chap.1) The Trump administration: Family Portrait 00:16:41 - (Chap.2) The neoliberals’ post-cold war blues 00:31:11 - (Chap.3) Human capital management: nativism, IQ, natalism 00:51:23 - (Chap.4) Movement of goods: The praise for tariffs  01:07:41 - (Chap.5) On warding off inflation: Gold and Cryptocurrencies 01:32:42 - (Chap.6) From legislative encasement to executive privilege 01:40:24 - (Chap.7) Nostalgia and technofuturism 01:50:19 - (Chap.8) Wrestling as allegory Interview with Michel Feher Conducted on February 1st, 2025 Directed by: Thierry Corroyer Produced by: Florence Mention and Aurélie Windels Visual research: Sophie Liner Music: Laz Lo and Boni (Introduction); Laz Lo, Eeryskies and Damiens Simons (Credits theme) Voice: Amanda Bay Podcast production, editing and mixing : Deborah Le Grand Subscribe to our monthly newsletter To support us, follow us on social medias: Youtube : ‪@Diagrammes‬ Instagram : @diagram.me.s Bluesky : @diagrammes.bsky.social #QuinnSlobodian #neoliberalism #trump Hosted on Acast.

  12. [Eng] DIAGRAMMES - TRAILER EPISODE

    BANDE-ANNONCE DE L’ÉPISODE 1, SAISON 1

    [Eng] DIAGRAMMES - TRAILER EPISODE

    Hello and welcome to Diagrammes, an independent bilingual media based in Paris and New York. Because resisting the world’s rightward drift requires us to take the measure of it, Diagram[me]s offers every three weeks, in free access, one or more in-depth interviews with scholars, journalists, and activists. The world is moving rightwards at a staggering pace. Leading this race to the worst is a breed of rulers who make their countries great again by cracking down on their own cities, brutalizing their neighbors and licensing their favorite oligarchs to plunder the planet.  Taken alone, however, the ways of a few strong men and their cronies cannot fully explain our current trajectory. Other enablers include moderate politicians ready to reach across any aisle, reasonable experts who confuse impartiality with complacency, and large constituencies eagerly absorbing the phobias stoked by the entrepreneurs of resentment.To hinder these global trends, the first task at hand is to get a better understanding of them, even as the spaces devoted to the critique of common sense are rapidly being defunded or closed. Diagrams thus seeks to join a resilient network of sites still attempting to diagnose our contemporary condition – one where freedoms are corroded in the name of liberty and inequalities are celebrated in the name of the people. With a new episode released every three weeks, Diagrams features in-depth interviews with scholars, journalists and activists. Our aim is to showcase research that illuminates the present and to gain a more lucid perspective on the fault lines of our brave new world.
