L’« islamogauchisme » n’est pas une réalité scientifique | CNRS
« L’islamogauchisme », slogan politique utilisé dans le débat public, ne correspond à aucune réalité scientifique. Ce terme aux contours mal définis, fait l’objet de nombreuses prises de positions publiques, tribunes ou pétitions, souvent passionnées. Le CNRS condamne avec fermeté celles et ceux qui tentent d’en profiter pour remettre en cause la liberté académique, indispensable à la démarche scientifique et à l’avancée des connaissances, ou stigmatiser certaines communautés scientifiques. Le CNRS condamne, en particulier, les tentatives de délégitimation de différents champs de la recherche, comme les études postcoloniales, les études intersectionnelles ou les travaux sur le terme de « race », ou tout autre champ de la connaissance.
