- « Lorsque le colosse de Cecil Rhodes a un pied au Cap et l’autre à Oxford » : la post-vérité dans les réactions politiques à la contestation des monuments impériaux britanniques

If many monuments inspired by Greco-Roman statuary have been destroyed in the history of humanity, it is because their aesthetics, their closeness to reality and above all their symbolism have made them, and still make them, prime targets for conveying political messages, without the need for direct attacks on human beings. This radical iconoclasm was magnified in South Africa in by the debate at the University of Cape Town (UCT) when some students demanded that the statue of the tycoon Cecil Rhodes be taken down because, they said, it was a daily offence when they walked past it, reminding them of the days of col
