Guillaume Chenevière presents his book
In the 19th century, Geneva was the city of Rousseau more than that of Calvin. While “Upper Geneva” loathed Rousseau, “Lower Geneva” devoted a veritable cult to him—one that eventually prevailed. Yet, starting in the 20th century, Rousseau’s image faded, giving way to that of Calvin.
How? Why? What might the future hold? *L’Oubli du Passé* (Forgetting the Past) examines a collective memory that may not yet have had the final word.
