Judith Revel

Since 2023, she is Professor of French Contemporary Philosophy at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and member of the Institut Universitaire de France.

She is linked to the work of the American philosopher Arnold Davidson, with whom she has in common an attempt to update the ethico-political Foucaldian themes.

[7] She analysed the refusal to give any political value to what was happening in the suburbs by deconstructing racist implicit images of public speeches (the roots of it might be the conviction that the one who does not speak the language of political representation is necessarily aphasic, childish or even animal).

In this context, she develops a work on the philosophical use of archives, especially through teachings and seminars at the EHESS.

She works in particular on the notion of "common" as an alternative to the public / private dichotomy, and on a political ontology of the present building bridges between Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Michel Foucault.
