This chapter examines the public debate on a global scale around the confrontation between #Metoo and Autre Parole. Both movements positioned themselves differently with regard to the demands for sanction, redress, and reparations in the face of cases of harassment and violence against women, particularly within the artistic world. This debate was characterized by two competing discourses that sought to legitimize and contaminate the claims and demands. The discourses of public opinion—as a symbolic representation that crystallizes the “public”—typified positions as morally justified or not, based on the social and historical attributions made to the representatives of #Metoo and Autre Parole, the way in which they evaluated the liberating and oppressive capacities of sexuality, and the way in which they defined situations of harassment or seduction.

摘要

This chapter examines the public debate on a global scale around the confrontation between #Metoo and Autre Parole. Both movements positioned themselves differently with regard to the demands for sanction, redress, and reparations in the face of cases of harassment and violence against women, particularly within the artistic world. This debate was characterized by two competing discourses that sought to legitimize and contaminate the claims and demands. The discourses of public opinion—as a symbolic representation that crystallizes the “public”—typified positions as morally justified or not, based on the social and historical attributions made to the representatives of #Metoo and Autre Parole, the way in which they evaluated the liberating and oppressive capacities of sexuality, and the way in which they defined situations of harassment or seduction.
