Boys don't cry?: A History of Emotions of the Milice française
Project: Boys don’t cry?: A History of Emotions of the Milice française 1943-44
My Thesis will examine the emotional communities which formed the Milice française, a Nazi-funded French Militia which was formed in 1943 to combat the Resistance. Part of the ‘Emotional turn’, my work moves past ideological and sociological arguments for motivation and instead probes further, looking at how their emotions contributed to their decision to join La Milice française.
By examining court records from their post-war épuration trial, we can reconstruct the emotional community in which they found themselves, nuancing our understanding of why and how normal people can come to do such evil things. It’s only by giving these miliciens ‘parole’, that we can fully understand them.
