A haunting portrait of France at war On August 1, 1914, war erupted into the lives of millions of families across France. Most people thought the conflict would last just a few weeks. Yet before the month was out, twenty-seven thousand French soldiers died on the single day of August 22 alone-the worst catastrophe in French military history. Refugees streamed into France as the German army advanced, spreading rumors that amplified still more the ordeal of war. Citizens of enemy countries who were living in France were viciously scapegoated. Drawing from diaries, personal correspondence, police reports, and government archives, Bruno Cabanes renders an intimate, narrative-driven study of the first weeks of World War I in France. Told from the perspective of ordinary women and men caught in the flood of mobilization, this revealing book deepens our understanding of the traumatic impact of war on soldiers and civilians alike. August 1914 was a finalist for a prestigious French book award, the Prix Fémina for nonfiction, in 2014.

Comment écrire aujourd'hui l'histoire de la folie ? Longtemps assimilée au seul discours de la médecine psychiatrique, celle-ci prend désormais de nouveaux chemins. Inscrite dans un champ social plus large, explorant la période méconnue du XXe siècle, et plaçant les individus au premier plan, l'histoire proposée dans ce volume s'applique à renouveler la description de l'« expérience psychiatrique » sous ses diverses formes. À partir de trois situations institutionnelles différentes – judiciaire, militaire, hospitalière – exposées dans leur contexte historique des XIXe et XXe siècles, les auteurs de ce volume s'appliquent à saisir les trajectoires singulières des patients dans leurs interactions avec les configurations institutionnelles de la psychiatrie et les catégories médicales qui définissent la maladie mentale. Comment émerge la figure « limite » du fou dangereux au point de contact de la justice et de la psychiatrie ? Comment les troubles psychiques de la Grande guerre ont-ils été pensés et pris en charge ? Quelle fut la place des patients dans l'hôpital psychiatrique du XXe siècle ? À partir de ces trois questions se dessine une autre histoire de la folie dans laquelle les médecins sont acteurs au même titre que les juges, les militaires ou les patients.
