Published by Le Passager clandestin, the book explores a bold and thought-provoking question: can eroticism become a political and ecological force? Through an interdisciplinary and critical approach, Bahaffou challenges the reduction of pleasure to an object of consumption and conquest, proposing instead a collective, decolonial, queer and anti-speciesist vision of what she calls “éropolitique.”
Blending feminist theory, sociology, philosophy and cultural critique, the book examines themes such as consent, ecosexuality, BDSM, dance and fasting as practices that can reshape relationships between bodies, desire and power. Throughout the essay, Bahaffou advocates for forms of resistance rooted in marginalized experiences, collective liberation and transformative social imagination.
Both rigorous and accessible, Eropolitique brings together diverse voices — from sociologists and philosophers to sex workers and activists — to argue that desire itself can become a driving force for social and political transformation.
At the Faculty of Social Sciences, we are committed to advancing innovative, interdisciplinary research that challenges dominant perspectives and contributes to important social conversations. Professor Bahaffou’s latest publication reflects this commitment through its exploration of ecology, feminism, social justice and new ways of imagining collective futures.
