In this first episode, Bruno Faure explains the importance, for the victims, of collective reactions after a terrorist attack.
Popular mobilization, the global shock wave fueled by the press and social networks have become reflexes appreciated by victims but which must sometimes be put into perspective.
Publicity
September 2001 in New York, March 2004 in Madrid, January then November 2015 in Paris, November 2015 in Bamako: five large-scale terrorist attacks which, beyond mourning in the countries concerned, provoked reactions all over the world. Fright, solidarity with the victims, indignation, anger sometimes. And in the longer term, tributes to those who were directly or indirectly affected by the attacks.
Why does the support displayed by society, by popular gatherings for example, help the victims in the beginning of their reconstruction process?
How to explain the gap between those who are in empathy with the victims, and those who keep more distance, who sometimes find that we talk too much about terrorism?
Why has the emergence of social networks changed so many things?
Why can relations between victims and the media be complicated?
