“Do you have to be angry to slaughter? Reflections on the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre (France, 1572),” Jérémie Foa, Aix-Marseille University
This talk will explore the mechanisms by which the principal killers of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre achieved their ends. The question of the killers' ideological motivations has often been raised, in particular to highlight the religious anxieties at the core of their behavior. However, other emotions should also be addressed, such as anger, desire for revenge and frustration. After investigating the role of these emotions in the process of violence, this talk will examine whether anger is sufficient to kill, and what the prerequisites are for a guilt-free massacre.Event details
