Le pain et le cirque: Sociologie historique d'un pluralisme politique

Veyne, Paul·1976·Seuil eBooks

Abstract

Ce livre est consacré aux aspects irrationnels et oubliés de la politique. Pourquoi distribuer du pain et du cirque au peuple dans une antiquité qui ne ressemble guère à celle des humanistes ? Dès qu'on sort des réponses toutes faites, les questions se multiplient. La « dépolitisation » n’est pas l’apolitisme, l’« expression » n’est pas l’information, la « consommation ostentatoire » est aussi bien un narcissisme. La clé du livre est la notion équivoque de symbole : une satisfaction symbolique est tantôt une satisfaction qui renvoie à autre chose, tantôt une satisfaction qui se suffit à elle-même et que nous qualifions un peu légèrement de « platonique ». Mieux vaudrait la dire « imaginaire » au sens des psychanalystes et évoquer la lutte interne des consciences selon Hegel. Seulement les options humaines sont le plus souvent hétérogènes entre elles : quand il faut choisir entre des options hétérogènes ou discontinues, les hommes font de nécessité vertu. Il y a bien l'idéologie, mais y croit-on vraiment ? Et, dans ce cas, que veut dire « croire » ?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
