The Future of Academia: In the Face of Woke Obscurantism

On March 10, the French academic publisher Presses Universitaires de France (PUF) announced that it would suspend the release of Face à l’obscurantisme woke (In the Face of Woke Obscurantism), a book co-authored by literature professor Xavier-Laurent Salvador, Emmanuelle Hénin, professor of comparative literature, and historian Pierre Vermeren. In its statement, PUF explained that “the necessary conditions for a calm and reasoned reception of this collective work are no longer in place,” citing what it described as an increasingly hostile political climate. The book, which characterizes wokism as a “militant pseudo-science” emerging from university humanities departments, contends that this ideology suppresses dissent through intimidation and generates a pervasive “moral panic.” The authors denounced the suspension as an act of “blacklisting” without legitimate justification.
