Dégagisme is a French political neologism formulated from the verb dégager, often used in the sense of "get lost" or "go away" but also meaning "to clear" or "to extract". It gained popularity in 2011 during the Arab Spring, and was first applied to French political commentary in 2017.
The term was originally coined in 2010[1] to describe a diaspora-led protest movement aiming to depose then-President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is applied to movements demanding the removal of those in power, by force or otherwise, without regard for who or what replaces them. Sometimes, the goal is to spark debate around the idea of power during the period of political vacancy, without demanding that a new leader take over[2].
Definition[edit]
Laurent d'Ursel, a member of the Belgian collective Manifestement (fr), defines dégagisme as "telling those who are in power to leave without saying that there are any better options, and without wishing to take power oneself. Simply saying 'get out', accepting and contemplating the emptiness, and seeing what happens with it." D'Urself makes a distinction between dégagisme and anarchism, declaring that "anarchy is a thing of the petit bourgeoisie. One thinks that one can do without anything and that anarchy is viable, which is a myth. [With dégagisme,] there is nothing. There is emptiness."[3]
Usage[edit]
Democratic Republic of the Congo[edit]
The idea of dégagisme was first used in 2010 by Eric Mulalu, a Congolese opposition leader. In March 2010, a few months before the 2011 election, Mulalu released a video[4] in which he invited President Joseph Kabila to dégage. The slogan Kabila dégage then gained popularity in the Congolose opposition, which began to chant it during protests and marches.
Tunisia[edit]
The neologism made its way to Tunisia in 2011 during the Arab Spring and was used to refer to demands made during protests for President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to resign.[2][5]
France[edit]
In January 2017, the term was used by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and leaders of the Left Front with regard to the results of the Socialist presidential primary and the defeat of Manuel Valls[6][7]. Later that year, Emmanuel Macron was elected the youngest president of the Fifth Republic. Damon Mayaffre opined that "electoral Macronism is a polite, republican version of the ambient dégagisme that has characterised France, if not the whole world, in the modern era."[8]
Criticism[edit]
D'Ursel's definition and Jacques Attali's comments (such as "After soft dégagisme, from which Emmanuel Macron benefited in 2017, could come hard degagisme,")[9] stand in opposition to the idea of the homme providentiel (fr) and could be seen to represent a more vivid interpretation of the analysis of transitions of power.
