Théâtre : L’art d’avoir toujours raison
by Cie Cassandre
How—even, and especially, when you’re wrong—can you always be right? Two experts from GIRAFE, the Interdisciplinary Research Group for Access to Elected Office, present to the public (in other words: an audience of future candidates) all the tools necessary for a successful campaign. Argumentation techniques, manipulation of language, ministerial crisis communication—everything is covered.
Throughout a formidably effective lecture, the Cassandre Company unmasks the codes of political communication—the insidious strategy that strips words of their meaning. According to linguist Noam Chomsky, schools should offer courses in intellectual self-defense to strengthen our democracies. *The Art of Always Being Right* puts this idea into practice with biting humor. In this age of fake news and AI, here is a refreshing theatrical gesture!
