This collection of essays arises from the 2005 Cambridge French
Graduate Conference on the theme of threat. From the baleful and
ubiquitous eyes of surveillance cameras to the ever-present
possibility of total nuclear annihilation, threat is everywhere
around us. Yet the phenomenon itself, if indeed it is a single
phenomenon, has received little attention. This volume seeks to
remedy this oversight with a collection of concise, hard-hitting
essays on a variety of topics in French culture. Organized around
central approaches to the problem of threat - (inter)cultural,
philosophical, and approaches through the visual arts - the book
examines anxiety, privacy, loss, invasion, and other issues related
to the theme. Though emphasis is placed on the contemporary period,
writers of the French Renaissance also receive due attention.
