Présentation par les auteurs :

Recent years have seen a number of French authors wade into the topic of conspiracy theorism. We might start with Edgar Morin and his 1969 book La rumeur d’Orléans. Morin sought to shed light on the strange psychosis that came over the city of Orléans in the 1960s, convincing many that young girls were being abducted by Jewish merchants to be sold into the “white slave trade.” Yet, not one girl was ever reported missing. In our own century, we can point to La société parano, by Véronique Campion-Vincent (2005), La foire aux illuminés and L’imaginaire du complot mondial, by Pierre-André Taguieff (2005 and 2006), Le complot cosmique, by Stéphane François and Emmanuel Kreis (2010), Mysteries and Conspiracies, by Luc Boltanski (2014), and La démocratie des crédules, by Gérald Bronner (2013).
