«Légendes urbaines. Rumeurs d'aujourd'hui» is the essay by Jean-Bruno Renard and Véronique Campion-Vincent, published by Payot in 1998, in French.
It compiles and analyses contemporary urban legends: alligators in New York sewers, melted contact lenses, stolen kidneys or vipers released over the French countryside. For the authors, these stories form a new urban folklore that channels fears, fantasies and rejections of city dwellers, protected by a modernity that escapes them.
Originally published in 1993, this 1998 paperback edition is part of the Petite Bibliothèque Payot collection.
For readers interested in sociology, contemporary folklore and the study of rumours.
