Abstract
Cet article offre une analyse comparative des émeutes françaises de 2005 et de celles qui ont eu lieu en Angleterre en 2011 en mobilisant le flashpoints model of public disorder. Les auteurs identifient et étudient la signification d’un certain nombre de facteurs causaux sous-jacents à l’œuvre dans ces deux épisodes d’émeute, et abordent à la fois les causes de fond (de court et long terme) et l’évènement « déclencheur » qui a permis qu’une violence potentielle latente débouche sur une émeute. L’article fournit un cadre analytique pour une étude comparative de ces importants épisodes d’émeute, et démontre que ce modèle demeure pertinent et continue d’offrir un cadre conceptuel solide, au sein duquel l’anatomie du désordre collectif peut être disséquée et comprise.
This article offers a comparative analysis of the French riots of 2005 and those that took place in England in 2011, using the flashpoints model of public disorder. The authors identify and study the meaning of a number of underlying causal factors at work in these two episodes of rioting, addressing the fundamental causes (short and long term) and at the same time the “trigger” that caused latent potential violence to end in a riot. The article gives an analytical framework for a comparative study of these two major episodes of rioting, and shows that this model remains pertinent, continuing to offer a sound conceptual framework within which the anatomy of public disorder can be dissected and comprehended.
