Why disobey Democracy? Sandra Laugier, Albert Ogien

Presentation Editor
The reasons for revolt are not lacking. But we do not rebel anyway: in a democracy, engage in a fight against injustice, inequality or domination is a gesture that must be expressed in a form acceptable political action. Among these forms is that civil disobedience is for the citizen to refuse a non-violent, collective and public, to fulfill a legal or regulatory obligation because he considers unworthy or illegitimate, and because it it does not recognize.
This form of action is often regarded with suspicion : For some it is merely the next reaction without a conscience is not offended because it hinged on a project of political change, while others, conversely, it would put democracy at risk by making legitimate type of action whose purpose would be to end the rule of law.
This original book, written by a sociologist and a philosopher, analyzes the meaning of political disobedience, by articulating a thorough analysis of civil disobedience, which proliferate in France today - at school, to the hospital, university, business, etc.. It shows how these acts are rooted primarily in a refusal of the logic of the result and performance that is now recognized as a mode of government. At the dispossession which threatens - dispossession of his profession, his language, his voice - the citizen can then respond by disobedience, whose political acumen must be thought.
