For this first case study, "Pensée indocile" heads to Brittany. From medieval chroniclers to the jokes of Pierre Desproges, passing through Victor Hugo and Balzac, the image of a rebellious, ungovernable, and obstinate people has been constructed over the centuries. It is based on documented movements of resistance. However, history also reveals a long accommodation of this population towards authority, whether it comes from the Church or the State. So, are the Bretons really indocile? The answer is more nuanced than it seems.
