Vincent Cocquebert

I am a journalist specializing in society and culture. For about twenty years, I have explored the transformations of our time, from Technikart to Le Monde, including Slate and Stylist. I also wrote a documentary for Canal+ and taught for five years at IEJ. My essays, published by Arkhê, provide a unified perspective on the narratives that govern us. Millennial Burnout reveals how the ideology of generations fuels harmful and out-of-touch representations of youth. The Cocoon Civilization examines the temptation of withdrawing into oneself. Unique in the World dissects the invention of self in the age of customization and its effects on relationships with others. The War of Sexcession describes the growing divide between men and women, especially among the younger cohorts. My fifth book, The Empire of Powerlessness, will be published in February 2027 and focuses on anger and nostalgia. I frequently appear on France Inter, France Culture, in Le Monde, Le Figaro, and on France Télévisions. Companies, organizations, and local authorities invite me to shed light on the major narratives that shape the current climate, and what these narratives change within their teams, their audiences, and their decisions.
