They had little to say about the violence of capital punishment as such. The problem that haunted them was the crowd that gathered around the guillotine. In these years the execution crowd was a mystery and an obsession, the object of literary surveillance, parliamentary inquiry, scientific study, and journalistic examination. These commentators saw a crowd without dignity, a crowd full of unhealthy emotions, a crowd of morbid curiosity and misplaced revelry. Who was this crowd? What emotions did its participants feel at the spectacle of punishment? And what can this story tell us about the public execution – or, more generally, the public – in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France? The outcry over the execution crowd reveals more about the commentators than about the crowd. The guiding emotions of these commentators had little to do with empathy, civilization or distaste for violent punishment; they had everything to do with disgust for the crowd on the streets and fears of the public in a new age of mass culture.","PeriodicalId":41779,"journal":{"name":"Cultural History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43420576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alexander Cruden's (1699–1770) pamphlet The London Citizen Exceedingly Injured appeared in 1739 in response to the ‘barbarous’ treatment he experienced while confined in a private madhouse. Cruden's narrative has been discussed as a text that helps recover patients' voices in the history of madness. However, attention has been paid mostly to the evidential manner in which Cruden attempts to prove his sanity and the wrongfulness of his confinement. The present analysis contends that appeal to emotion is the most significant factor that helps Cruden reclaim sanity. It shows that emotional expression in Cruden's text helps mediate suffering that centres on cruelty and humiliation rather than physical harm. More than that, this emphasis on suffering as humiliation and indignity is a calculated act that appeals to compassion and identifies the author as a member of an emotional community that values it. This alignment with the culturally sanctioned emotion of compassion, it is argued, is the most effective way of reclaiming sanity in a social context.","PeriodicalId":41779,"journal":{"name":"Cultural History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46170775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many ways, crime scene photography seems like the logical fulfillment of what Allan Sekula termed the “evidentiary promise” of photography. Understanding crime scene photography as a form of evidence places it in the realm of empirical science, with the photograph preserving proof of misdeeds and aiding the detective's forensic pursuit of truth. But, perhaps surprisingly, this was not the use that Bertillon foresaw for crime scene photography. Instead he suggested that crime scene photography was destined for the courtroom, and for the eyes of the jury. There it would not be a vehicle of objective proof, but rather an emotional catalyst for conviction. This paper examines the Bertillon system of crime scene photography as a rhetorical strategy calibrated for emotional impact, showing how it attempted to move viewers from the space of investigation and uncertainty to the space of conviction.","PeriodicalId":41779,"journal":{"name":"Cultural History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45720997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By looking at the way in which madness was given the form of a social drama, I intend to suggest a new way to look at the history of the passions that focuses on the preconditions rather than on the results. The pathologization of passions in general, and of ambition in particular, required a new observational and visual regimen in which certain passionate states could be regarded as vehement or delirious. I would argue that the transformation of emotional symptoms into clinical signs required the mobilization of many elements, including the attentive observation of the inmates, their gestures and, of course, their expressions. In many cases, the configuration of the clinical record acquires the form of a short novella. In some others, in which those who are mad are quoted directly, we are tempted to believe that we may hear their inner voices. In both cases, there is little doubt that the cultural and medical configuration of madness requires not just actors and directors but also a plot, a stage, costumes, props, scenography and, of course, an audience. To explore these theatrical forms, I examine in detail one of the clinical cases reported by Leuret, chief physician for the mentally ill at the prison of Bicêtre. This gives me the opportunity to look at the elements of theatricality included in the clinical reports, but also at the performative nature of emotional states. I claim that the interplay between emotions and clinical conditions was at the core of the pathologization of passions that took place in the early nineteenth century.","PeriodicalId":41779,"journal":{"name":"Cultural History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47861266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
