Le Boycott
Michel Maffesoli invites us to reflect around Marc Drillech’s book, Le Boycott : histoire, actualité, perspectives.
The saturation of modern values comes with a transformation of forms of commitment and claims.
The social contract is being challenged as multiple compacts are appearing. The nation-state is giving way to virtual communities that coalesce and disband based on affinities, exchanges of goods or symbols.
New forms of public action can then be seen emerging: volunteering, boycott, petitioning, virtual campaigns.
