In April 2021, three leading French cultural organizations based in New York brought together more than a dozen thinkers from the U.S. and France for a transatlantic festival investigating the state of <em>liberté d’expression</em> or free speech in the age of what has been called “cancel culture.”
Presented entirely online over the weekend of <strong>April 23 to 25</strong>, the festival featured three in-depth conversations, each one centering on a hot-button issue: <strong>Religion</strong>; <strong>Sexuality</strong>; and <strong>Race</strong>.

A Transatlantic Festival: Liberté d’expression, Free Speech, and "Cancel Culture"
Talk II: Sexuality
Presented on Saturday, April 24, 2021
In English
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, which originated in the US, France began reconsidering its stance towards sex and sexual liberation. Its attitudes that had fostered a culture of seduction and gallantry have been accused of also allowing a pattern of harassment and sexual assault. Some critics complained that this movement, born on social media, went too far, creating a climate of paranoia that limits free behavior instead of building a healthier framework for relationships. How has this movement evolved and changed over the years and should social media become a public court of opinion?
