ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Discussions at several different places gave rise to this little book. I have to thank Antoine de Baeque for having suggested that I take part in the study day he organized on the Terror in 1999, thus helping me to put these reflections into shape; Didier Fassin for having invited me to an interdisciplinary seminar on the notion of the intolerable; Alain Brossat for inviting me to a conference on terrorism; Arlette Farge for having encouraged me in my reflection on political emotions at the seminar she and Pierre Laborie organized on the event and its reception; and Marc Abélès for having opened up paths of anthropological reflection in the LAIOS seminar. My thanks also to those colleagues and friends, fellow historians of the French Revolution whom I joined in conducting a seminar on ‘L’Esprit des Lumières et de la Révolution’: Françoise Brunel, Yannick Bosc, Marc Deleplace, Florence Gauthier and Jacques Guilhaumou. My special thanks to Éric Hazan for having re-read the text of this essay with care and friendship. And thanks, finally, to Didier Leschi, who helped me so often to clarify my investigation by re-reading the different pieces of the puzzle as they came to light.
