They sparked an enormous discussion among citizens and intellectuals from around Europe and beyond. By analyzing the effects the attacks have had in various spheres of social life, including the political, ideology, collective imaginaries, the media, and education, this collection of essays aims to serve as a contribution as well as a critical response to that discussion. The volume observes that the events being attributed to \u003cem\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/em\u003e go beyond sensationalist reports of the mainstream media, transcend the spatial confines of nation states, and lend themselves to an ever-expanding number of mutating discursive formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The year that ended for France with the coordinated attacks on Paris in November 2015 began long ago with the January attack on the office of satirical magazine\u003c\/em\u003e Charlie Hebdo.\u003cem\u003e Although the memory already seems distant, ten months is not much time in academia; it usually takes almost that long for a finished manuscript to reach publication, but in this diminutive volume we have nine essays composed, edited, and published in an outstandingly timely manner, in both senses of the term—that ten months is not much time, and that once again it is time to make sense of an Islamic assault on a Western country.“\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e· Anthropology Review Database \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Event of \u003cem\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/em\u003e - Imaginaries of Freedom and Control\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBjørn Enge Bertelsen and Alessandro Zagato\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tThe \u003cem\u003eBarbariat\u003c\/em\u003e and Democratic Tolerance\u003cbr\u003e \t\t\u003cem\u003eKnut Rio\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\t\u003cem\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/em\u003e: The West and the Sacred\u003cbr\u003e \t\t\u003cem\u003eAxel Rudi\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tThe Thoughtcrimes of an Eight-Year-Old\u003cbr\u003e \t\t\u003cem\u003eMaria Dyveke Styve\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tImaginaries of Violence and Surrogates for Politics\u003cbr\u003e \t\t\u003cem\u003eAlessandro Zagato\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tWhere Were You, Charlie?
