“Manu” Letouzé is a French-born, Brooklyn-based, freelance ‘socio-political’ cartoonist who also works as an economist for the United Nations and pursues his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. Originally from Brittany, France, Manu moved to New York City from Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2004 to attend Columbia University as a Fulbright fellow. There, he started drawing political cartoons in English rather than in his native French, which he had previously done for several years as an editorial cartoonist while studying at Sciences Po in Paris. He is now contributing cartoons to various publications, including (in English) StuffExpatAidWorkersLike.com, a satirical blog on the world of NGOs, UN, etc., and (in French) Rue89.com, France’s leading news website, where he holds a blog. His current projects include comic strips on New York City seen through the eyes of a European, on the UN, and on the life of a father of one-year old twin girls.

Lecture by Denis Lacorne, introduced by Mark Lilla
In Religion in America: A Political History, newly translated into English, Denis Lacorne identifies two competing narratives in American history and national identity: a secular one, derived from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, and a religious one, rooted in the Protestant Reformation and Puritanism. Lacorne outlines the role of religion in the making of these narratives and examines how key historians, philosophers, novelists, and intellectuals situate religion in American politics.
Denis Lacorne is Directeur de recherche at CERI (Center of International Research and Studies) at Sciences Po and a specialist of political history in the U.S.
Event co-sponsored by the Alliance Program and the Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life and the Center for the Study of Democracy, Toleration and Religion. Partial support is provided by Cultural Services of the French Embassy.

Le Donjuanisme à la française
L’actualité judiciaire américaine a mis à jour l’existence en France d’un phénomène social récurrent qui pourrait relever de l’histoire littéraire : le donjuanisme à la française, largement répandu, conforté par des justifications culturelles qui en l’occurrence neutralisent l’appareil judiciaire français. Tout est bon pour taire, cacher au nom du droit à la vie privée des politiques, des comportements transgressifs et violents parfois criminels, en tout cas humiliants pour les femmes. Les plaintes contre le viol et le harcèlement sexuel sont rares en France. Pourquoi cette survivance monarchique qui va bien au delà de cas archétypiques qui condensent tous les ingrédients de la réussite. Il ne s’agit pas d’une pathologie individuelle mais d’un état de société dont les hommes laissent la
