Pygmalion Democracy: If you build it, will they come?

Abstract

This book critiques the notion of “Pygmalion democracy,” where deceptive forms of nationalism and propaganda, marinated in new technologies, communications and platforms, mask social inequalities and anti-democratic practices. This book, with some twenty authors from eight countries, problematizes war/conflict, environmental catastrophe, the media, education, peace, social injustice and social movements enmeshed within the context of Pygmalion democracy. The authors advocate for transformative, inclusive democracy through dialogue and solidarity, challenging hegemonic norms and promoting non-hierarchical decision-making and civil engagement. We hope that we can collectively create (non-normative) democratic spaces together, involving civil society, marginalized sectors, the arts, diverse learning engagements, citizen fora and activism. /// Cet ouvrage critique la notion de « démocratie Pygmalion », où des formes trompeuses de nationalisme et de propagande, imprégnées des nouvelles technologies, communications et plateformes, masquent les inégalités sociales et les pratiques antidémocratiques. Cet ouvrage, rédigé par une vingtaine d’auteurs et d’autrices de huit pays, problématise la guerre et les conflits, les catastrophes environnementales, les médias, l’éducation, la paix, l’injustice sociale et les mouvements sociaux, ancrés dans le contexte de la démocratie Pygmalion. Les aut·eur·rice·s prônent une démocratie transformatrice et inclusive, fondée sur le dialogue et la solidarité, remettant en question les normes hégémoniques et promouvant une prise de décision non hiérarchique et l’engagement citoyen. Nous espérons pouvoir créer collectivement des espaces démocratiques (non normatifs), impliquant la société civile, les secteurs marginalisés, les arts, les divers engagements d’apprentissage, les forums citoyens et le militantisme. /// Este libro critica la noción de la “democracia Pigmalión”, donde formas engañosas de nacionalismo y propaganda, impregnadas de nuevas tecnologías, comunicaciones y plataformas, enmascaran desigualdades sociales y prácticas antidemocráticas. Este libro, con una veintena de autores de ocho países, problematiza la guerra/conflicto, la catástrofe ambiental, los medios de comunicación, la educación, la paz, la injusticia social y los movimientos sociales envueltos en el contexto de la democracia Pigmalión. Los autores abogan por una democracia transformadora e inclusiva a través del diálogo y la solidaridad, desafiando las normas hegemónicas y promoviendo la toma de decisiones no jerárquica y la participación ciudadana. Esperamos que podamos crear colectivamente espacios democráticos (no normativos), involucrando a la sociedad civil, los sectores marginados, las artes, diversas formas de aprendizaje, foros ciudadanos y activismo.
