Analyses partagées d’une archive judiciaire

Abstract

Eight women, artists and scientists, undertook an experiment of shared analyses on the archival material of a femicide perpetrated in Toulon in 1847. All of them thought that it could have taken place in the twenty-first century without the modalities and discourses recounted being in any way different.To account for this sustainability, a work of debates, readings, confrontations of points of view explored the constancy of male domination, that of gender norms, that of the importance of the family order in collective life at the basis of social silence on these crimes and their invisibility in History.Very diverse achievements have flourished on these exchanges and the archive has blossomed into works of a very great plurality that has also spread in social networks.
