The macabre dance of injustice

Listen to audio

Continuing the reflection on the consequences of demographic catastrophe on the distribution of fortunes and the level of inequalities, and revisiting the historiography of social mobilization against working conditions and working hours in the second half of the 14th^century, the lecture attempts to chronologically re-articulate the rebellion and epidemic sequences. What can we say about the generational gap between 1348 and 1378, and in what way is the Jacquerie of 1358 an event arising after, or following on from, the Black Death?

"Not everyone is present in the same present time. They're only there externally, because we can see them today. But that doesn't mean they live at the same time as everyone else. They carry with them a past that intrudes" (Ernst Bloch, Héritage de ce temps, 1935)
