Revue des Deux Mondes Issue Explores the Mechanics of Hate

The Revue des Deux Mondes will publish its May-June 2026 edition, curated by Aurélie Julia, under the title 'Mécaniques de la haine' (Mechanics of Hate). Julia emphasizes the omnipresence of hate, echoing Pascal's assertion that "all men naturally hate each other." This edition presents various articles, including Catherine Van Offelen's examination of the internet as a "factory of connected hate," Astrid du Lau d'Allemans' exploration of hate's anthropological dimensions, and Jean-Dominique Merchet's analysis of state-induced hate. Delphine Jouenne discusses how degraded language can incite political violence, while Jacques de Saint Victor addresses fascism accusations, Philippe Delaroche comments on the resurgence of Nazism, and David Reinharc tackles antisemitism. The issue also features quotes from Hannah Arendt and a musical selection by Rita Mitsouko, Jowee Omicil, and Baby Boom.
