What are the origins and nature of terror and terrorism in the United States and beyond? This book of essays about the history and contemporary reality of terror reveals little-known aspects of a compelling subject. Since the American and French Revolutions, governments and their opponents have used terror and terrorism for different political reasons. We learn how terror and terrorism have marked the evolution of social values and have entered into cultural expression of all types - literature, music, television, cinema - and have influenced the formation of ideologies and political institutions. The authors of the introduction and eighteen chapters comprising Terror and Its Representations show how a sensitive subject can be treated with conviction while maintaining the critical distance necessary for serious debate. Quelles sont les origines et la nature de la terreur et du terrorisme aux États-Unis et ailleurs ? Cet ouvrage composé d’essais sur l’histoire de la terreur et sur sa réalité contemporaine met en lumière des aspects peu connus d’un sujet captivant. Depuis les révolutions française et étatsunienne, les gouvernements et leurs opposants ont utilisé la terreur et le terrorisme pour différentes raisons politiques. On apprendra ici comment la terreur et le terrorisme ont marqué l’évolution des valeurs sociales, comment ils sont entrés dans les expressions culturelles de tout type - littéraires, musicales, télévisuelles, cinématographiques - et comment ils ont influencé la formation des idéologies et des institutions politiques. Il est possible de traiter un sujet sensible en gardant la distance critique nécessaire à un débat de fond : c’est ce que les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont voulu montrer.
