This article looks at the aftermath of riots in a suburban area of Paris to make a larger argument about what produces riots, the role of police violence, the activation of social boundaries, and the implied set of demands during and after riots. It uses the methods of visual sociology to show how youth often target symbols of the state to respond to state violence in an asymmetrical confrontation when they feel they do not have a political voice or representation. It also presents original survey data about what non-riot participants think causes these riots. Finally, it shows images from campaigns to ban chokeholds in France, which recent protests have achieved.

本文着眼于巴黎郊区骚乱的后果，就引发骚乱的原因、警察暴力的作用、社会边界的激活以及骚乱期间和之后的一系列隐含要求做出更大的争论。它使用视觉社会学的方法来展示当年轻人觉得自己没有政治发言权或代表权时，他们经常如何以国家象征为目标，以不对称对抗的方式回应国家暴力。它还提供了关于非暴动参与者认为导致这些暴动的原始调查数据。最后，它展示了法国禁止扼流圈运动的图像，最近的抗议活动已经实现了这一点。
