La dialectique du livre et de la bombe à l’époque des « lois scélérates » Autour du procès Jean Grave

In 1894, french society can see the summary trial of a book ­considered exemplary for its power of “­contagion”, La Société mourante et ­l’anarchie, written by Jean Grave. By the way of these “Lois scélérates”, promulgated in 1893-1894, political censorship, as political struggle, experiment a paradoxical moment in their history, linked to the notion of “propagande par le fait”, which seems to cancel the distinction between saying and do it.
