Published: Sept. 18, 2020, 1:20 p.m.

b'In today\'s episode we will be joined by Anna Gvelesiani to talk about her \\narticle, A Family Matter: Charlie Hebdo and French Fantasies of Collective \\nTrauma. Although Anna wrote the article over a year ago, the issue has \\ngained new significance recently by the magazine\'s decision to republish \\nthe offending Mohammed Cartoon from 2015. In today\'s discussion we will \\nexamine whether the "Je Suis Charlie" movement has lost steam. We will also \\nquestion narratives which seek to defend racist humour by placing it within \\na specialised context of French satirical history.'
