N2  - The bloody events of the Paris Commune in 1871 traumatized France as much as the Kennedy assassination or September 11 have traumatized America. In this important study of cultural memory, Peter Starr draws on an innovative range of sources to understand the resonating questions about the terrible year. Why would literary, cinematic, and historical works in the wake of the Commune keep returning to the trope of confusion as a way of both commemorating and parrying this historical trauma? And what do these representations of confusion have to tell us about the forms of social upheaval that effectively shaped modern France: revolution, democratization, urbanization, and the capitalist transformation of desire?
