(Calenda announcement 1034027)
This colloquium proposes to examine, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the relationship of contemporary societies to the domestic threat. What happens when individuals, groups, or segments of the population threaten or engage in violence against other groups or the state? What happens when the state itself "goes to battle" by targeting groups and confronting them as "enemies"? These situations cover a large number of historical experiences, a priori irreducible and incommensurable, and all the more difficult to circumscribe because their qualifications are almost always themselves issues of struggle between the actors involved. It is the ambition of this colloquium to bring them together, to bring together and confront investigations devoted to sequences of this type in order to question these situations of hostility.
