« In sentinel in its own house ». Reflections on the terrorism as civil war - the case study of the French wars of religion (1562-1598).Article

Authors: Jérémie Foa 1

This paper offers to think about the problems faced by a society confronted with the presence - real or fantasized - of the ”enemy within”. In this society, the identification of the other and the self-presentation do not only serve to protect the social honor but are matters of life and death. What are the skills mobilized for identifying the ”suspects”? The wars of Religion (1562-1598) can help to think of a society confronted with sudden violence and, just like the terrorism, from the inside of the community.
