Laure Murat provides a commanding overview of the months following the "Weinstein affair", exploring its impact in terms of the media, sociology and philosophy. These events triggered a revolt, perhaps a revolution, in every sphere of life: workaday, legal and artistic. Her analysis of the Weinstein affair draws on recent examples of Western new events. By gauging the significance of the events from their reverberations in the United States and worldwide, Laure Murat tries to understand what constitutes and what is at stake in an "historical event". The case also encourages her to re-examine polemics surrounding freedom of expression, and the morality of art, particularly film.
