Public engagement

In July 2014, together with the writer and sociologist Édouard Louis , he published in the newspaper Liberation an appeal against Marcel Gauchet's participation in the Rendez-vous de l'Histoire de Blois , which caused a great sensation in the French public and was widely discussed.

In September 2015 de Lagasnerie again published together with Édouard Louis a “Manifesto for an intellectual and political counter-offensive” in the newspaper Le Monde , which turned against the new shift to the right in France and Europe and also caused a lot of attention and a little later also in the lot Angeles Review of Books was published.

De Lagasnerie is involved in the yellow vests movement from 2018 to win them over to the left. And he is campaigning for the left-wing nationalist Jean-Luc Mélenchon to become President of France in 2022. Politically, he positions himself to the left of Mélenchon .
