This volume explores the political life of rage as it has been
experienced and mobilized in the Francosphere since 1968. If mai is
remembered as a failure to convert insurrectionary feeling into
lasting political change, the vast number of activist groups who have
alchemized their anger into resistance over the past fifty years are a
testament to the continued, necessary role of rage in political life.
This volume traces the various morphologies of anger across
French-language literature, thought, cinema and activism. From Black
feminisms to punk, flamboyance to suicide, cacophonous sound to
riotous song, the contributions probe the aesthetics and politics of
rage. This collection also examines the uneven legitimization of
political anger – how rage is allowed to be expressed, by whom and
in which contexts. Rage is often dismissed as inimical to proper
academic inquiry: what unites the contributions in this publication is
a commitment to thinking with feeling.
