Stella Bresciani, From Political Astonishment to Scientific Certainty. Four representations of the French Revolution
Comparative analysis of the works of Edmund Burke, Thomas Carlyle, Gustave Le Bon, Sigmund Freud, Hippolyte Taine and Hannah Arendt show that an aesthetic representation of crowds, cities and societies was formed at the beginning of the nineteenth century and preceded the formulation of a conceptual field that transformed them into objects of study. Part of this process was a change in orientation going from a strictly political perspective towards a growing acceptance of a normative neutrality deemed scientific This shift in the study of crowds was the expression of the desire to gain control over social phenomena that were perceived as frightening throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
