Anotace knihy

Tout est culture, a compendium of chronicles, was inspired by an outline found in the Lettre à tous les Français [Letter to the French people] which François Mitterrand had written by way of a political agenda during the 1988 presidential campaign: “Ultimately, everything is culture. Jack Lang was right.”While Malraux had confined his efforts to restoring façades, the Lang ministry will always remain that of the ”Fric-FRAC” years [Regional Collections of Contemporary Art]. What did it matter that living art had by then succumbed to the onslaught of socialism, since it had been replaced by cultural engineering, whose commissioners and curators were trying to drown the patent failures of the economic and social policies under a deluge of bicentennials (Revolution), tricentennials (Voltaire) and still other ashes (Malraux’s) transferred to the Panthéon? Cut off from its industry, France had become nothing but a gigantic amusement park whose only capital was its past. Disney profited from this big real estate sell-off by carving itself an enclave equivalent to one-fifth of the surface of Paris.Yet the cultural comedy would soon experience a tragic rebound, for in its own backyard, a clandestine conflict was raging: the Algerian Civil War. Islam, which formerly enthralled our best orientalists, became the theatre of an even more spectacular set design – that of the “shock of civilisations,” which paved the way for the attacks of 11 September and 11 January, thanks to which today’s geopolitics have yielded to geopoetics. The French recess is over: the time has come for screenwriters – those who write universal history before it even happens.
