Gender and Justice: Violence, Intimacy, and Community in Fin-de-Siècle Paris
About this Episode
This Book, Gender and Justice, examines the dynamics of intimate relationships and violence in fin-de-siècle Paris through the lens of assize court trial dossiers. The author analyzes how working-class Parisians navigated love, marriage, household management, and conflict, contrasting their experiences and perspectives with those of the bourgeoisie and legal authorities. By exploring crimes of passion and domestic disputes, the text reveals the prevailing social norms, gendered expectations, and the complex interplay between local knowledge, state power, and the administration of justice. The study also considers the role of honor, reputation, and societal influences such as the popular press and medical theories in shaping understandings and justifications of violence.
