As Surrealism turns 100, what can it teach us about the importance of dreaming and creating a better society? Will we wake up from the consumerist dream sold to us by capitalism and how would that change our ideas of utopia?S. D. Chrostowska is professor of humanities at York University, Canada. She is the author of several books, among them Permission, The Eyelid, A Cage for Every Child, and, most recently, Utopia in the Age of Survival: Between Myth and Politics. Her essays have appeared in such venues as Public Culture, Telos, Boundary 2, and The Hedgehog Review. She also coedits the French surrealist review Alcheringa and is curator of the 19th International Exhibition of Surrealism, Marvellous Utopia, which runs from July to September 2024 in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France."People speak about the Anthropocene. I don't quite like this term, but the idea that humans have been transforming nature and have been altering it, adulterating it, something to put into perspective regarding this nostalgia for pristine nature. And utopianism actually goes hand in hand with nostalgia. I mentioned the myth of the Golden Age. This was something that used to exist, the Golden Age or paradise, an idea of pure nature in harmony with human beings. These nostalgic imaginaries that feed into and can reactivate utopian thinking in our day. We should by no means let go of an idea of pristine nature. And I also don't think, just to return to this idea of species extinction. I don't think that the de-extinction efforts are particularly utopian, even though they may seem this way. How do we compensate for the material loss of biodiversity? I think no amount of technological ingenuity will actually fulfill this desire for a return to the pristine nature that we have lost.”https://profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/sylwiac/www.sup.org/books/title/?id=33445https://chbooks.com/Books/T/The-Eyelidhttps://ciscm.fr/en/merveilleuse-utopiewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

“What is imaginary tends to become real -- that's a quote from the founder of Surrealism, André Breton. We daydream of a better world, and this could be a very vague daydream. The idea of utopianism that I'm putting forward in the book is not a detailed, orderly, rational model of the city utopia. It's this free floating, desirous model of the body utopia, which is unfinished and imperfect. It's always in transformation. These dreams and daydreams that we have are guiding our actions, influencing our day-to-day behavior if we let them. Our imagination is always involved in creating reality. The opposition between the two, reality and the imaginary, is not a stark one; they're porous. I've just co-curated a major exhibition of Surrealism, reflecting on the 100 years since the Manifesto of Surrealism, so I'm very much in this moment where I'm trying to explain to the public the value of this movement.S.

“I'd like young people not to limit their world to content they can find on the internet. I think that's a real danger. Many of my students say, “well, I haven't thought about this,” “I haven't read this because I didn't find it online for free.” I want them to remember that not all knowledge is digitized, that much remains elusive to the nets of the internet even in its effort to make knowledge accessible on one platform, to create this kind of enormous encyclopedia. And in this quest, we also reduce the past to the present. The past is more virtually present in our lives than for any other generation, because it's available online in the form of textual and audiovisual archives. This proximity actually affects the past's pastness. The appearance of distance is lost in the digital reproduction, whether it's paintings, or archival documents, or photographs. I think it's erroneous to think that everything that is extant from the past is at our fingertips and that we don't have to go out and look for it. So what I would like to pass on is curiosity; curiosity about the past shouldn't stop at the digital. It's tempting to think that all the answers are already there online because it's so vast, this web we are spinning, but that's not the case.”S. D.

Certainly, the techno-utopian dream is that it will lead us towards utopia. It is the means of organizing human collectivities, human societies, in a way that would reconcile all the variables, all the things that we can't reconcile because we don't have enough of a fine-grained understanding of how people interact, the different motivations of their psychologies and of societies, of groups, of people. Of course, that's another kind of psychology that we're talking about. So I think the dream of AI is a utopian dream that stands correcting, but it is itself being corrected by those who are the curators of that technology. Now you asked me about the changing role of artists in this landscape. I would say, first of all, that I'm for virtuosity. And this makes me think of AI and a higher level AI, it would be virtuous before it becomes super intelligence.”https://profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/sylwiac/www.sup.org/books/title/?id=33445https://chbooks.com/Books/T/The-Eyelidhttps://ciscm.fr/en/merveilleuse-utopiewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

These dreams and daydreams that we have are guiding our actions, influencing our day-to-day behavior if we let them. Our imagination is always involved in creating reality. The opposition between the two, reality and the imaginary, is not a stark one; they're porous. I've just co-curated a major exhibition of Surrealism, reflecting on the 100 years since the Manifesto of Surrealism, so I'm very much in this moment where I'm trying to explain to the public the value of this movement.”https://profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/sylwiac/www.sup.org/books/title/?id=33445https://chbooks.com/Books/T/The-Eyelidhttps://ciscm.fr/en/merveilleuse-utopiewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

As Surrealism turns 100, what can it teach us about the importance of dreaming and creating a better society? Will we wake up from the consumerist dream sold to us by capitalism and how would that change our ideas of utopia?S. D. Chrostowska is professor of humanities at York University, Canada. She is the author of several books, among them Permission, The Eyelid, A Cage for Every Child, and, most recently, Utopia in the Age of Survival: Between Myth and Politics. Her essays have appeared in such venues as Public Culture, Telos, Boundary 2, and The Hedgehog Review. She also coedits the French surrealist review Alcheringa and is curator of the 19th International Exhibition of Surrealism, Marvellous Utopia, which runs from July to September 2024 in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France.“I'd like young people not to limit their world to content they can find on the internet. I think that's a real danger. Many of my students say, “well, I haven't thought about this,” “I haven't read this because I didn't find it online for free.” I want them to remember that not all knowledge is digitized, that much remains elusive to the nets of the internet even in its effort to make knowledge accessible on one platform, to create this kind of enormous encyclopedia. And in this quest, we also reduce the past to the present. The past is more virtually present in our lives than for any other generation, because it's available online in the form of textual and audiovisual archives. This proximity actually affects the past's pastness. The appearance of distance is lost in the digital reproduction, whether it's paintings, or archival documents, or photographs. I think it's erroneous to think that everything that is extant from the past is at our fingertips and that we don't have to go out and look for it. So what I would like to pass on is curiosity; curiosity about the past shouldn't stop at the digital. It's tempting to think that all the answers are already there online because it's so vast, this web we are spinning, but that's not the case.”https://profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/sylwiac/www.sup.org/books/title/?id=33445https://chbooks.com/Books/T/The-Eyelidhttps://ciscm.fr/en/merveilleuse-utopiewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

In this episode Annie and Elyse take listeners on an immersive journey through one of France's most picturesque and historically rich regions. The Lot, known for its breathtaking landscapes, ancient villages, and exquisite culinary heritage, offers a deep dive into the heart of French culture and history. We start in Cahors, the Lot's largest city, famous for its fortified medieval bridge, the Pont Valentré, and its unique cathedral. Discover the ancient city's blend of history and modernity, where Roman ruins meet medieval architecture. The episode then transports you to the prehistoric Cave of Pech Merle, one of France's most spectacular prehistoric sites, still adorned with original drawings and carvings. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, voted France's most beautiful village, showcases medieval architecture, stunning views, and an artist's haven, revealing the Lot's ability to inspire creativity across centuries. Meanwhile, Rocamadour, a site of pilgrimage carved out of cliffs, offers a glimpse into medieval spirituality and architectural ingenuity. The journey continues to the Gouffre de Padirac, where an underground river creates one of the country's most spectacular natural phenomena. The episode also highlights Martel, the village of seven towers, and Figeac, the home of the Champollion museum, enriching the narrative with tales of truffle markets, ancient languages, and the quest for knowledge. Listeners will learn about the Lot's contribution to the culinary world, from black truffles and walnut cakes to the renowned Cahors wine. This episode not only explores the Lot's visual and historical treasures but also delves into the tastes and aromas that make the department a must-visit for anyone interested in the essence of France. Exploring the Treasures of the Lot Department is a journey through time, nature, and culture, inviting listeners to discover the Lot's many wonders, from its dramatic cliffs and ancient caves to its medieval villages and gastronomic delights.

Tous les jours dans le club de l'été, Europe 1 vous fait découvrir un joli coin de France.

Une fois n'est pas coutume, Emmanuel Macron repart à la conquête des Français. Depuis le début du déconfinement, le chef de l'État a lancé une série de déplacements dans les régions. Il était cette semaine dans le Lot et il a prévu de faire un tour de France d'ici fin juillet. Que cherche Emmanuel Macron ? À entendre l'un des proches du président, tout ça ne serait pas « très conceptualisé, Emmanuel Macron a envie d'aller rencontrer les gens, de voir comment ça se passe, de veiller sur les Français. Il dit je veux aller là ou là »  et il « adore Saint-Cirq-Lapopie », ce petit village du Lot où il s'est rendu cette semaine, explique cet interlocuteur comme pour faire en sorte que le président ne soit pas accusé de monopoliser l'espace médiatique en pleine campagne des régionales. Emmanuel Macron, on le sait, adore aller « au contact », « prendre le pouls des Français », il veut encore une fois essayer d'apparaître comme un président proche des gens : « Le Covid l'a transformé, ça lui a permis de fendre l'armure », veut croire un député. Le moment est propice. Un marcheur parle d'une « convalescence joyeuse » dans le pays après des mois difficiles de contraintes sanitaires. Et à l'Élysée, on explique que le président « veut accompagner ses concitoyens dans le retour à la vie ». Le chef de l'État se déconfine donc à sa manière. Mais ce qui se joue, c'est la dernière année du quinquennat. Emmanuel Macron espère évaluer l'état d'esprit des Français et donc sa marge de manœuvre politique pour continuer à réformer. Emmanuel Macron est-il en campagne ? Officiellement non mais dans les faits, ça y ressemble. D'ailleurs, parmi ses soutiens, certains le reconnaissent : ce tour de France est un tour de chauffe. Il doit permettre à Emmanuel Macron de changer son image, de passer de « Jupitérien à Pompidolien » autrement dit de montrer qu'il est  « humain, à l'écoute » et surtout de faire « la pédagogie de la France de demain ». En 2017, Emmanuel Macron avait lancé sa campagne avec la grande marche. En 2018, il avait organisé une itinérance mémorielle. Après les « gilets jaunes », il était sorti de la crise avec le grand débat. C'est un peu toujours la même recette revisitée à la sauce tour de France même si  un candidat aux régionales explique que l'objectif est différent : « Le grand débat, c'était une séquence de psy. On n'en est plus là, maintenant il s'agit de dire où on va ensemble ».  Autrement dit de préparer une candidature alors que son adversaire principale, Marine Le Pen, est déjà en campagne pour 2022.

Caroline Roux reçoit Jean-Louis Bourlanges, président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères à l'Assemblée nationale après le top-départ donné par le président de la République Emmanuel Macron sur la campagne présidentielle après un déplacement dans le Lot le mercredi 2 juin 2021. François Bayrou et les dirigeants du MoDem épinglés par les enquêteurs de l'Office central de lutte contre la corruption et les infractions financières et fiscales Les policiers de l'Office central de lutte contre la corruption et les infractions financières et fiscales (OCLCIFF) ont livré un rapport important dans le dossier judiciaire visant l'affaire des assistants parlementaires européens du parti centriste. Après les élus RN, c'est au tour du MoDem d'être visé par les enquêteurs. Ils confirment le rôle joué par François Bayrou et les dirigeants du MoDem dans la mise en place d'une fraude dans le cadre d'un détournement de fonds européen, pour un montant total de 20,4 millions d'euros. « Je suis très choqué par cette article (…) je n'étais pas du tout au MoDem pendant cette période donc j'ai beaucoup de détachement et d'impartialité, je suis un ami de François Bayrou et je suis très choqué par le contenu » explique Jean-Louis Bourlanges, président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères à l'Assemblée nationale avant d'ajouter « Je crois qu'il est employé des mots comme détournement de fonds (…) Il s'agit simplement de savoir si les fonds attribués aux parlementaires européens sont destinés uniquement à leur travail dans l'institution ou à considérer qu'un parlementaire c'est un homme qui est à la charnière de trois institutions : le Parlement où il exerce sa fonction, la circonscription qui l'a élu et le parti dans lequel il est choisi comme candidat ». Macron, le temps de la campagne Le président de la République s'est rendu le mercredi 2 juin 2021 dans le Lot à la rencontre des habitants de Saint-Cirq-Lapopie pour parler du tourisme. La campagne présidentielle est-elle déjà lancée ? « Ce n'est pas la première fois que l'on entend qu'il est en campagne présidentielle permanente. On se rapproche de l'échéance, (…) le président de la République sculpte son image, il présente un discours » affirme l'homme politique français et d'ajouter : « En principe les candidats bougent, se déplacent de partout. C'est normal qu'il y ait ce contact direct. » Le 11 mai dernier, le MoDem a voté contre le pass sanitaire à l'Assemblée nationale, une surprise pour les élus LREM. Un vote protestataire pour signaler le flou du texte. « Il y a deux choses : il y a le comportement traditionnel exécutif sous la Ve République, cela ne s'est pas amélioré. Nous sommes gouvernés en France depuis 70 ans par des fonctionnaires dont la doctrine paraît être le rôle de protéger les Français contre les gens qu'ils ont élus. Je crois que sur la proportionnelle, le président de la République avait pris un engagement de la mettre en place. Je crois que c'est indispensable » termine Jean-Louis Bourlanges.

MACRON, LE CANDIDAT ET LES « DÉCISIONS DIFFICILES » - 03/06/21 INVITÉS YVES THRÉARD Directeur adjoint de la rédaction et éditorialiste – « Le Figaro » NATHALIE SAINT-CRICQ Éditorialiste politique - « France Télévisions » NEILA LATROUS – En duplex Journaliste politique - « France Info » ÉRIC FOTTORINO – En duplex Écrivain - Cofondateur de « Zadig » et « Le 1 Hebdo » L'offensive présidentielle se poursuit sur le terrain. Très présent dans les médias ces dernières semaines, Emmanuel Macron a lancé hier dans le village de Saint-Cirq-Lapopie dans le Lot la première étape de son tour de France. Et cela continue aujourd'hui à Martel avec une rencontre qui rappelle le « grand débat national » de 2019 après la crise des gilets jaunes. Mais cette fois ce sont trente habitants, quinze femmes et quinze hommes, tous âgés de plus de 60 ans, qui ont été sélectionnés pour parler au chef de l'Etat. Comme il l'avait annoncé fin avril à la presse régionale, Emmanuel Macron entend ainsi prendre le « pouls des Français » et évoquer la relance, à l'heure où le pays accélère son déconfinement et espère enfin tourner la page de l'épidémie de Covid. Mais à un an de la présidentielle, ce déplacement, le premier d'une série qui devrait en compter une dizaine d'ici à mi-juillet, ressemble fort à une entrée en campagne. Après une longue interview accordée à « Zadig » qui lui a permis de présenter sa vision de la France, le chef de l'Etat a choisi de renouer avec le contact direct des Français. Une façon pour Emmanuel Macron de tenter de corriger l'image d'arrogance et de trop grande distance qui lui colle à la peau depuis le début de son mandat. Mais aussi d'occuper le terrain médiatique et de répondre à certains opposants qui l'ont critiqué pour être entré en campagne électorale avec les moyens de l'Etat à l'approche des régionales des 20 et 27 juin et à un an de la présidentielle. « On doit prendre le pouls du pays même quand on n'est pas en campagne », a ainsi affirmé ce jeudi le président de la République, jugeant trop tôt pour dire s'il sera candidat en 2022. Avant cela, Emmanuel Macron a annoncé qu'il allait devoir « prendre des décisions, certaines difficiles », au cours de l'été, et peut-être que certaines d'entre elles « ne rendront pas possible » sa candidature. Depuis plusieurs mois, l'exécutif a fait preuve d'une détermination sans faille sur le dossier explosif de la réforme de l'assurance-chômage, en dépit de l'hostilité de l'ensemble des syndicats et de la gauche, tout comme des critiques exprimées par plusieurs économistes ayant soutenu Emmanuel Macron en 2017. Sauf coup de théâtre, les demandeurs d'emploi seront soumis, à partir du 1er juillet, à un changement du mode de calcul des indemnités. Selon une étude réalisée par l'Unédic, 1,15 million de chômeurs seront touchés par cette mesure et verront leur allocation baisser la première année. Mais au sommet de l'Etat le débat fait rage entre ceux qui veulent poursuivre les réformes à un rythme soutenu, à commencer par la réouverture du chantier des retraites interrompu par la crise sanitaire, et ceux qui veulent éviter les dossiers conflictuels. Alors quelles décisions « difficiles » pourrait prendre Emmanuel Macron ? D'où vient la réforme de l'assurance-chômage et quels sont ses objectifs ? Quelles conséquences pour les personnes indemnisées ? Emmanuel Macron est-il entré en campagne ? Enfin quels sont les enjeux des élections régionales ?

Préparez-vous, la grande tournée "J'aime les ploucs 2021" a commencé dans le merveilleux village médiéval de Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.

Comme il l'avait annoncé fin avril, Emmanuel Macron "reprend son bâton de pèlerin" ce mercredi pour aller "prendre le pouls du pays". Le chef de l'État commence sa tournée par le petit village de Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, dans le Lot. Un lieu symbolique où il s'est rendu à deux reprises depuis 2016. Pour Jean-Michel Apathie, Emmanuel Macron s'y voit déjà. La Bourse française est en train de battre des records vieux de dix, quinze ans. Les prix des logements sont en train de repartir très fort à la hausse, et la dette publique est en train de gonfler. Pour François Lenglet, tout cela a une cause commune. Selon lui, la planche à billets va bientôt freiner. Les JO de Tokyo toujours plus contestés. Selon un nouveau sondage, plus de 80% des Japonais sont opposés à leur organisation cet été, et ce à moins de dix semaines de l'événement. Ils ont déjà été reportés l'an dernier à cause de la pandémie. Selon Abnousse Shalmani, il y a un risque de fiasco pour les J.O de Tokyo . Il serait plus intelligent de les annuler. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

Ce mardi 2 juin 2021, Caroline Roux reçoit Adrien Quatennens dans les 4 vérités. Le député de la France insoumise est parti en guerre contre le compteur Linky. Linky : les consommateurs vont-ils payer ? C'est la polémique de ces derniers jours : les utilisateurs du compteur Linky, présent dans 32 millions de foyers, devraient commencer à le rembourser dès l'an prochain. Une information démentie par le gouvernement, ce qui peine à rassurer Adrien Quatennens, très impliqué par ce sujet. « Le compteur Linky est surtout là pour assurer la rentabilité du secteur, dénonce le député de la France insoumise. Les associations de consommateurs alertent sur le fait qu'il n'y a pas d'étude sérieuse qui prouve qu'on va faire des économies ». Depuis l'ouverture du marché à la concurrence, « les factures ont augmenté de 60 % », rappelle-t-il, et « en pleine crise sanitaire, on apprend qu'un ménage sur cinq a vu son revenu baisser ». Pour le proche de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, « la situation financière d'EDF aujourd'hui, qui est en difficulté, est le fruit pourri de ce qui se passe depuis 20 ans ». Il rappelle que « le consommateur est un usager d'abord, avant d'être un client » et que pour ces consommateurs, l'ouverture du marché « c'est la triple peine : c'est plus cher, c'est plus compliqué et ce sont des démarchages commerciaux agressifs ». La concurrence d'EDF est donc en question… comme les éoliennes ? C'est le point de vue de Stéphane Bern, qui les qualifie de « négation de l'écologie » dans une tribune virulente publiée sur le site du Figaro dimanche. « On a besoin de faire une transition énergétique, une planification écologique, bien évidemment que les éoliennes en font partie, avance Adrien Quatennens. Nous avons de grands défis devant nous, notamment la bifurcation écologique de notre économie ». Régionales, répétition générale Invité à réagir à la visite de terrain du président de la République à Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, dans le Lot, le coordinateur de la France insoumise est clair. Selon lui, Emmanuel Macron « rentre en campagne présidentielle ». « Ce que je veux dire aux Français, c'est ‘ne vous trompez pas'. Emmanuel Macron fait parfois de jolis sourires, de belles vidéos avec des youtubeurs, il a ce côté a priori cool, détaille-t-il. Mais en réalité c'est quelqu'un qui est non seulement président des riches (…) et c'est aussi quelqu'un qui est très dur avec les pauvres, qui mène une guerre sociale aux plus pauvres dans ce pays ». Pour le député dans la première circonscription du Nord, « toute la politique de relance de l'activité est un fiasco. C'est pas en catapultant des milliards sans contrepartie, sans vision stratégique qu'on relance l'activité. Pas plus qu'en baissant les droits des travailleurs ou en tapant sur les chômeurs. »

Le président Emmanuel Macron est attendu mercredi en fin de journée dans le Lot où il va séjourner deux jours, visitant notamment deux des plus emblématiques villages du département : Saint-Cirq-Lapopie et Martel, avant de se rendre à Cahors. Dans le cadre de ce déplacement présidentiel, il ira à plusieurs reprises à la rencontre des habitants. Pour Jean-Michel Apathie, Emmanuel Macron veut le maillot jaune. Il estime qu'il s'agit d'une opération politique d'envergure qui s'apparente au Tour de France. Les Français ont épargné 142 milliards d'euros de plus que d'habitude pendant la pandémie. Le gouvernement, en quête de rentrées fiscales, espère que les foyers dépenseront ce surplus d'épargne qui représente un gisement potentiel énorme de croissance. Pascal Perri estime qu'il faut toucher au grisbi. L'hypothèse que le Gabon adhère au Commonwealth semble de plus en plus plausible. Une délégation du Commonwealth s'est rendue récemment à Libreville alors que le président gabonais, lors d'une visite de travail à Londres s'est entretenu mardi 11 mai avec la secrétaire générale de l'Organisation. Si l'on en juge par les quelques mots tweetés par le président gabonais à la sortie de son entretien avec Patricia Scotland, les choses pourraient aller vite. Pour Abnousse Shalmani, la France sort du jeu en Afrique. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

Scott and his fiancé Grant spent 6 wonderful days in the Dordogne and Aveyron, two neighboring areas in Occitanie in the southwest of France. And since that's home for me, it's a pleasure to report that they had a great time! Best Places in the Dordogne and Aveyron They visited Sarlat, La Roque Gageac, Beynac, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Belcastel, Najac, Toulouse and Carcassone so those were busy days and well planned-out days. They have great accommodations and restaurant recommendations too! In the episode we don't talk about Toulouse and Carcassonne because we ran out of time, but check out Scott's Guest Notes for information on those. Scott has been in France several times and loves lots of things about it  including food, wine, and French culture. Accommodations Recommendations They like to stay in one place for 2 or 3 nights and will pick either hotel or rental depending on what the area has to offer. These are the gems they found on this trip: Airbnb in Sarlat (Dordogne) Chateau de Belecastel (Aveyron) Airbnb in Najac (Aveyron) Restaurant Recommendations They only made a brief stop in Bordeaux but managed to find a great restaurant: La Tupina. This is a restaurant with a country feel and an open fire in the middle of it and they serve great local specialties. In Belcastel they really enjoyed the Restaurant du Vieux Pont. It's worth making a reservation to eat at this one-star restaurant because the other food option in Belcastel is a little touristy restaurant Annie tried that was nothing to write home about! About Renting a Car in France Don't let the car rental agency upgrade you to a bigger car, it won't fit anywhere! And also, don't follow Google Maps too closely. If it's taking you on a dirt road, don't go there unless you've been warned that the entrance gate is on a dirt road. You've got to hear what happened when they asked Google Maps to drive them to a parking lot in Belcastel! That starts at [34:27] And you also need to listen to that part because Belcastel is truly one of the most memorable scenic villages in France!
