« Quand novembre allume ses bougies » … « le monde chante encore » 1

In the hours and days following the terrorist attacks of January 7 and November 13, 2015 in France, amateurs and professionals of French song broadcast dozens of songs in French, in tribute to the victims and in reaction to the tragic events via traditional media (radio, television) and social networks. From 2016 to 2018, several artists (Cali, Jeanne Cherhal, Damien Saez, Cyril Mokaiesh, Bernard Lavilliers, HK, and the Saltimbanks, Miossec, etc.) continued this quest, raising the question of our relationship with the world and our ability to resonate with it, after such human tragedies in an increasingly harmful environment. Through an exploration of Hartmut Rosa’s theory of Resonance, which invites us, in the heritage of critical theory of society, to connect to the “song of the world,” this article offers an understanding of what these particular songs tell us about our time and how they enable us to bear the unbearable, individually and collectively
