The present collection of papers is the result of the third “Siècle des Lumières” International Conference held at Le Havre University on 23-25 June 2015, with the very singular purpose of “wrongdoing” in as many ways and wises as possible. This collection of essays is meant to explore society’s understanding of wrongdoing, and the way that it is translated into the world of culture. It is thus concerned not just with wrongdoing, but with the social and cultural responses it prompts. It allows for questioning of the processes through which it is evident that we, as cultural consumers and patrons, take a type of pleasure in wrongdoing.
