Sartre as prosecutor of occupational murder: notes from a People's Tribunal in a French mine (1970)
Résumé
This document contains an introductory text by Pascal Marichalar, Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner, and a speech given by Jean-Paul Sartre in 1970 (all rights reserved Gallimard, translation to English by Pascal Marichalar).
Extract: On February 4, 1970, in the Fouquières-lès-Lens coal mine in northern France, sixteen miners were killed in a gas explosion (“firedamp,” grisou in French). This was an accident like many others before it, yet with a relatively high number of fatalities. The public prosecutor concluded, as usual, that there was no case against the publicly owned mine. No investigation was to be carried out. The accident had been the work of fate, of bad luck.
