Quelles sont les conditions qui rendent possible l'action de juger la politique ? Quels sont les effets de telles entreprises ?

Jeanne d’Arc est à la fois l’une des figures les mieux connues du Moyen Âge et l’une des plus énigmatiques. Elle a été l’objet de deux procès, de condamnation (1431) et de réhabilitation (1456). Ces procès d’Église étaient des procès politiques : à travers Jeanne, le premier cherchait à déconsidérer Charles VII et le second à lui restituer son honneur. Cet ouvrage a pour objet de présenter à un large public les résultats récents de la recherche : le contexte historique du procès – celui d’une occupation d’une bonne partie du royaume de France par les Anglais – ainsi que certains aspects juridiques (le premier procès dirigé par Pierre Cauchon, évêque de Beauvais, suit étroitement les règles de la procédure d’inquisition). D’autres aspects, linguistiques ou historiques, sont pour la première fois analysés. C’est ainsi que le latin, langue de la traduction officielle du premier procès, est étudié, de même que le second procès est éclairé par l’analyse des mémoires relatifs au procès de condamnation produits par de savants clercs pour la procédure de révision. Est également étudiée la représentation des procès, qui a beaucoup évolué dans le temps, du XVIe au XXe siècle. Cette évolution est sensible aussi bien dans l’historiographie que dans la littérature, les arts plastiques, le cinéma ou la musique. Jeanne a été en effet considérée tour à tour comme une hérétique, une illuminée, une sainte et une héroïne nationale, et son image peut se prêter à toutes les récupérations politiques.

This book charts the emergence of women's writing from the procedures of heresy trials and recovers a tradition of women's trial narratives from the late Middle Ages to the seventeenth century. Analyzing the interrogations of Margery Kempe, Anne Askew, Marian Protestant women, Margaret Clitherow and Quakers Katherine Evans and Sarah Cheevers, the book examines the complex dynamics of women's writing, preaching and authorship under religious persecution and censorship. Archival sources illuminate not only the literary choices women made, showing how they wrote to justify their teaching even when their authority was questioned, but also their complex relationship with male interrogators. Women's speech was paradoxically encouraged and constrained, and male editors preserved their writing while shaping it to their own interests. This book challenges conventional distinctions between historical and literary forms while identifying a new tradition of women's writing across Catholic, Protestant and Sectarian communities and the medieval/early modern divide.

In this gripping and haunting narrative, a renowned psychiatrist sheds new light on the psychology of the war criminals at Nuremberg When the ashes had settled after World War II and the Allies convened an international war crimes trial in Nuremberg, a psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley, and a psychologist, Gustave Gilbert, tried to fathom the psychology of the Nazi leaders, using extensive psychiatric interviews, IQ tests, and Rorschach inkblot tests. Never before or since has there been such a detailed study of governmental leaders who orchestrated mass killings. Before the war crimes trial began, it was self-evident to most people that the Nazi leaders were demonic maniacs. But when the interviews and psychological tests were completed, the answer was no longer so clear. The findings were so disconcerting that portions of the data were hidden away for decades and the research became a topic for vituperative disputes. Gilbert thought that the war criminals? malice stemmed from depraved psychopathology. Kelley viewed them as morally flawed, ordinary men who were creatures of their environment. Who was right? Drawing on his decades of experience as a psychiatrist and the dramatic advances within psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience since Nuremberg, Joel E. Dimsdale looks anew at the findings and examines in detail four of the war criminals, Robert Ley, Hermann Göring, Julius Streicher, and Rudolf Hess. Using increasingly precise diagnostic tools, he discovers a remarkably broad spectrum of pathology. Anatomy of Malice takes us on a complex and troubling quest to make sense of the most extreme evil.

Klondike lore is full of accounts of the exploits of Dangerous Dan McGrew, Sergeant Preston of the Mounted, and the Mad Trapper of Rat River. The stories vary from outright fabrications to northern fantasies and, on occasion, real-life accounts. Strange Things Done investigates a series of murders in the pre-World War II Yukon, exploring the boundaries between myths and historical events. The book seeks to understand both the specific events, carefully reconstructed from court evidence and police records, and the broader social and cultural context within which these violent deaths occurred. The murder case studies provide a unique and penetrating perspective on key aspects of Yukon history, such as Native-newcomer relations, mental illness and the folklore about cabin fever, the role of immigrants in northern society, violence in the gold fields, and the role of the police and courts in regulating social behaviour. The investigation of these capital cases also illustrates the fear and paranoia which gripped the territory in the aftermath of a murder, and the societys insistence on quick and retributive justice when offenders were caught and convicted. The Yukon experienced fewer murders than popular literature would suggest, and fewer than most would expect given the region's intense and dramatic history, but those that did occur illustrate the passions, frustrations, angers and human frailties that are present in all societies. The manner in which the murders occurred and the way in which Yukoners reacted also reveals specific and important aspects of territorial society.
