Book Synopsis Une histoire française du crime by : Jérôme Blanchart
Download or read book Une histoire française du crime written by Jérôme Blanchart and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vols de reliques, assassinats d'enfants, lycanthropie, duels interdits, crimes de masse... Dans l'ombre de l'Histoire de France et de ses rois se cache une histoire en minuscule, celle des fous, des voleurs et des meurtriers. Le crime s'inscrit aussi dans son époque par l'écho qu'il produit auprès de ses contemporains. Mais qu'en était-il avant l'irruption de la presse écrite qui "industrialisa" le genre du fait divers ? Qui se souvient de ce trafic de reliques à l'abbaye de Conques (855) ? De cette baston dans une taverne qui déboucha sur la première grève universitaire (1229) ? Et que dire du complot (les Lépreux (1231) et du massacre urbain du Pet-au-Diable (1453) ? Le lecteur découvre ici la préhistoire des faits divers, des premiers gangs mérovingiens qui ravagèrent la basilique Saint-Denis (579) à l'affaire de la Malle sanglante et de Gabrielle Bompétard (1890), qui signe sans doute les débuts flamboyants du crime dans la presse grand public.
Book Synopsis Une histoire criminelle de la France by : Alain Bauer
Download or read book Une histoire criminelle de la France written by Alain Bauer and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2012-04-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la Cour des Miracles à la French Connection, de Mandrin à la Brise de Mer, de Pierrot le Fou à Mesrine, des Apaches aux gangs actuels, mais aussi de Fouché aux brigades du Tigre, cet ouvrage témoigne des figures criminelles et aussi policières qui ont marqué leur époque. Au-delà de ces personnalités mythiques et des seuls faits divers, il cherche surtout, en les replaçant dans leur contexte économique et social, à cerner les évolutions et les ruptures pour esquisser une véritable histoire sociale de la France. Condensé des imperfections humaines, le criminel, individu parfois incarné par le pouvoir, est en effet un formidable révélateur des forces et des faiblesses d’une société, nous en apprenant énormément sur nous-mêmes, par ses actes comme par la façon dont nous tentons d’y faire face. Le crime est inhérent à toute société humaine. Et, pourtant, l’histoire montre bien la relativité de la criminalité et ses transformations au cours des siècles. À la persistance de certains comportements à travers le temps répond la variété des crimes, en nombre et en qualité, qui illustrent chaque période. L’histoire du crime, c’est aussi l’histoire d’un pays ! Alain Bauer est professeur de criminologie au Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, à New York et à Pékin. Il a notamment publié une Géographie de la France criminelle. Christophe Soullez est criminologue et chef du département de l’Observatoire national de la délinquance et des réponses pénales. Il a notamment publié Violences et insécurité urbaines.

Book Synopsis French Crime Fiction, 1945–2005 by : Margaret-Anne Hutton
Download or read book French Crime Fiction, 1945–2005 written by Margaret-Anne Hutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first major study of representations of World War II in French crime fiction, Margaret-Anne Hutton draws on a corpus of over a hundred and fifty texts spanning more than sixty years. Included are well-known writers (male and female) such as Aubert, Simenon, Boileau-Narcejak, Vargas, Daeninckx, and Jonquet, as well as a broad range of lesser-known authors. Hutton's introduction situates her study within the larger framework of literary representations of World War II, setting the stage for her discussions of genre; the problem of defining crimes and criminals in the context of the war; the epistemological issues that arise in the relationship between World War II historiography and the crime novel; and the temporal textures linking past crimes to the present. Filling a gap in the fields of crime fiction and fictional representations of the War, Hutton's book calls into question the way both crime fiction and the French theatre of World War II have been conceptualized and codified.

Book Synopsis Murder in the Métro by : Gayle K. Brunelle
Download or read book Murder in the Métro written by Gayle K. Brunelle and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the evening of May 16, 1937, the train doors opened at the Porte Dorée station in the Paris Métro to reveal a dying woman slumped by a window, an eight-inch stiletto buried to its hilt in her neck. No one witnessed the crime, and the killer left behind little forensic evidence. This first-ever murder in the Paris Métro dominated the headlines for weeks during the summer of 1937, as journalists and the police slowly uncovered the shocking truth about the victim: a twenty-nine-year-old Italian immigrant, the beautiful and elusive Laetitia Toureaux. Toureaux toiled each day in a factory, but spent her nights working as a spy in the seamy Parisian underworld. Just as the dangerous spy Mata Hari fascinated Parisians of an earlier generation, the mystery of Toureaux's murder held the French public spellbound in pre-war Paris, as the police tried and failed to identify her assassin. In Murder in the Métro, Gayle K. Brunelle and Annette Finley-Croswhite unravel Toureaux's complicated and mysterious life, assessing her complex identity within the larger political context of the time. They follow the trail of Toureaux's murder investigation to the Comité Secret d'Action Révolutionnaire, a secret right-wing political organization popularly known as the Cagoule, or "hooded ones." Obsessed with the Communist threat they perceived in the growing power of labor unions and the French left wing, the Cagoule's leaders aimed to overthrow France's Third Republic and install an authoritarian regime allied with Italy. With Mussolini as their ally and Italian fascism as their model, they did not shrink from committing violent crimes and fomenting terror to accomplish their goal. In 1936, Toureaux -- at the behest of the French police -- infiltrated this dangerous group of terrorists and seduced one of its leaders, Gabriel Jeantet, to gain more information. This operation, the authors show, eventually cost Toureaux her life. The tale of Laetitia Toureaux epitomizes the turbulence of 1930s France, as the country prepared for a war most people dreaded but assumed would come. This period, therefore, generated great anxiety but also offered new opportunities -- and risks -- to Toureaux as she embraced the identity of a "modern" woman. The authors unravel her murder as they detail her story and that of the Cagoule, within the popular culture and conflicted politics of 1930s France. By examining documents related to Toureaux's murder -- documents the French government has sealed from public view until 2038 -- Brunelle and Finley-Croswhite link Toureaux's death not only to the Cagoule but also to the Italian secret service, for whom she acted as an informant. Their research provides likely answers to the question of the identity of Toureaux's murderer and offers a fascinating look at the dark and dangerous streets of pre--World War II Paris.

Book Synopsis Sexual Crime, Religion and Masculinity in fin-de-siècle France by : Timothy Verhoeven
Download or read book Sexual Crime, Religion and Masculinity in fin-de-siècle France written by Timothy Verhoeven and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a vital though long-neglected clash between republicans and Catholics that rocked fin-de-siècle France. At its heart was a mysterious and shocking crime. In Lille in 1899, the body of twelve-year-old Gaston Foveaux was discovered in a school run by a Catholic congregation, the Frères des Écoles Chrétiennes. When his teacher, Frère Flamidien, was charged with sexual assault and murder, a local crime became a national scandal. The Flamidien Affair shows that masculinity was a critical site of contest in the War of Two Frances pitting republicans against Catholics. For republicans, Flamidien’s vow of chastity as well as his overwrought behaviour during the investigation made him the target of suspicion; Catholics in turn constructed a rival vision of masculinity to exonerate the accused brother. Both sides drew on the Dreyfus Affair to make their case.

Book Synopsis French Crime Fiction by : Claire Gorrara
Download or read book French Crime Fiction written by Claire Gorrara and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first English-language studies to chart the development of crime fiction in French from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It analyses the distinctive features of a French-language tradition and introduces readers to a rich and varied body of work. Each chapter examines a specific period, movement or group of writers, as well as engaging with wider debates on the place of crime fiction within contemporary French and European culture. From early twentieth-century pioneers, such as Gaston Leroux and Maurice Leblanc, to the phenomenal success of Georges Simenon, from May 68 to the gender politics of crime fiction and postmodern reinventions, this collection approaches crime fiction in an interdisciplinary manner, alive to the innovative and often critically informed perspective it provides on French society and culture. The book also includes short extracts in English translation and an extensive bibliography of critical material for further reading. Such resources are aimed at encouraging the reader to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of this potent and formidable narrative of modern times.
Book Synopsis French crime fiction and the Second World War by : Claire Gorrara
Download or read book French crime fiction and the Second World War written by Claire Gorrara and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores France’s preoccupation with memories of the Second World War through an examination of popular culture and one of its more enduring forms, crime fiction. It examines what such popular narratives have to tell us about past and present perceptions of the war years in France and how they relate to post-war debates over memory, culture and national identity. Starting with narratives of the Resistance in the late 1940s and concluding with contemporary crime fiction for younger readers, Gorrara examines popular memories of the Second World War in dialogue with the changing social, cultural and political contexts of remembrance in post-war France. From memories of the persecution of Jews and French collaboration to the legacies of the concentration camps and the figure of the survivor-witness, all the crime novels discussed grapple with the challenges of what it means to live in the shadow of such a past for generations past, present and future.

Download or read book France, 1800-1914 written by Roger Magraw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century France was a society of apparent paradoxes. It is famous for periodic and bloody revolutionary upheavals, for class conflict and for religious disputes, yet it was marked by relative demographic stability, gradual urbanisation and modest economic change, class conflict and ongoing religious and cultural tensions. Incorporating much recent research, Roger Magraw draws both upon still-valuable insights derived from the 'new social history' of the 1960s and upon more recent approaches suggested by gender history , cultural anthropology and the 'linguistic turn'.
