On Saturday, April 6, the La Boétie Institute organized a study day on the State. Its first round table, entitled "What is the State: Genealogy and Battlefield," included contributions from Isabelle Garo (co-facilitator of the philosophy department at the La Boétie Institute), Ludivine Bantigny (lecturer in history), Pierre Crétois (lecturer in philosophy) and Stathis Kouvélakis (researcher in political philosophy). The aim was to approach the relationship to the State from the perspective of the different historical traditions of critical thought and the workers' movement and their contemporary developments. Democratic overhaul, anti-statism, federalism, communalism, etc.: how should we think about the State yesterday and today?
