| Zusammenfassung: | A caricature appeared in 1794: Robespierre would only be a tyrant obsessed with death until he wanted to "decapitate himself after having guillotined the last of the French". France, according to Robespierre, Republic of Terror, resembles in these traumatic images an immense cemetery in which rivers of blood flow. The corpse invades the representations. To study this political moment seized by terror, here is the meaning of this work, which brings together a dozen studies by Antoine de Baecque. By observing the various forms of symbolic, physical or static violence that then invade political space, the historian gives a place to the Hercules, this Force armed with his club which imposes itself as a new allegory of France, taking a place alongside the goddess Liberty. For it is a matter of giving substance to the Republic and of impressing those who attack it, while creating a colossal body that can legitimately fight the monarchical giant by terrorizing the enemies of the people. This book proposes to re-read and rethink the Terror, showing that the concrete presence of the corpses and the power of the morbid imaginary allow the revolutionaries to take (de) measure the violence of the upheavals they generate, and thus justify their policy of fright.--Translation of abstract by CNRS Editions |
