| Research Abstract |
We made a study on the influence of the sicences towards the theater of Grand-Guignol, Theater of horror of Belle-Epoque. The theater of Grand-Guignol usually has for object of horror the proletarians, the tramps, the insane persons, the epidemic, etc. They mean marginal beings which can threaten the security of the bourgeois society. The authors of this genre often refer to the sciences of time to explain their threats. We can find the track of the unconscious fear of the bourgeois spectators there. Finally, we published the fruit of our studies in several articles.
