Se marier pour vivre plus longtemps ? Le suicide des célibataires en perspective transatlantique (1870-1920)
This paper places unmarried people into the mainstream of American history. It looks at the cultural construct of singlehood as a threat for the future of the American people during the Progressive Era. This fear of singlehood was based upon intellectual exchanges between Europe and the United States, and established a correlation between marital status and suicide. It is no coincidence that advocates of the « race suicide theory » targeted unmarried people, not only in their discourse, but also in the social practices they implemented.
期刊介绍:
La Revue Française d"Études Américaine, fondée en 1976, analyse un large éventail de questions relevant des études nord-américaines, dans le champ des lettres, des arts, des sciences sociales et humaines. La RFEA offre un lieu de débat sur la recherche en études nord-américaines ; son comité de rédaction indépendant sélectionne des articles inédits de caractère scientifique qui relèvent d"une approche disciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire et présentent les résultats d"une recherche théorique, empirique, ou d"une réflexion critique.
