Imaginaires de l’identité collective au prisme d’événements sidérants
The Imagination of In-group Identity through Attack Events

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the in group identity which emerges through three events, the Cologne attacks in January 2016, the attacks against the Charlie Hebdo journalists in January 2015 and the Yellow Vests’ demonstrations in France from November 2018 to 2019. It focuses on the images and fictions which are performed by the citizens as well as those which appear through the reactions of academics, journalists and politicians in media. It aims at revealing the accommodation of political myths and the way the representations of collective identity are built.
