Synopsis "El Miedo en Occidente"

Esta historia del miedo, asimismo una historia de las mentalidades, demuestra que no solo los individuos, sino también las colectividades e incluso las civilizaciones, pueden estar atrapados en un permanente diálogo con el miedo. El autor traza el retrato de una sociedad traumatizada por la peste, las guerras, las disputas religiosas y la constante inseguridad, y analiza la instrumentalización del terror, sobre todo por parte de la Iglesia. Al desvelar las pesadillas de nuestro pasado, muestra las raíces de la necesidad de seguridad que caracteriza a la sociedad contemporánea. Jean Delumeau (Nantes, 1923) es un historiador francés, gran especialista en cristianismo. Catedrático de Historia, miembro de la Escuela Francesa de Roma y doctor en Letras, ha ejercido la enseñanza en la École Polytechnique, en la Universidad de Rennes, en la École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales y en la Sorbona. Ocupó durante veinte años la cátedra de Historia de las Mentalidades Religiosas en el Occidente Moderno en el Collège de France.

Jean Delumeau (Nantes, 1923 – Brest, 2020) was a prominent French historian specialized in the history of religious mentalities in the West, particularly during the Renaissance and the Early Modern Period. He held the chair of History of Religious Mentalities at the Collège de France between 1975 and 1994, and was a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. His innovative approach in historiography earned him accolades such as the Grand Prix Gobert from the Académie française in 1968 for his work The Civilization of the Renaissance.

Among his most influential works are Fear in the West (1978), Sin and Fear (1983), Confession and Forgiveness (1990) and the Paradise History trilogy, consisting of The Garden of Earthly Delights (1992), A Thousand Years of Happiness (1995) and What Remains of Paradise? (2000). These publications fall within the genre of historical essay and have been fundamental in understanding the collective representations of fear, sin, and hope in Western Christian culture.
