Une taxinomie des peurs collectives

this paper proposes a taxonomy of collective fears built of the composition of two criteria: on the one hand, perceived ？reasons？ of the origin of an object of fear (human vs. non-？human origin, intentional or not); on the other, the types of places where fear shows itself (by purpose, by suggestion, by nature, by occasion). consequently, a typology of 4 x 4 configurations is produced. the formal distance between these configurations taken two by two can constitute a stable basis for future empiric studies.
