aaA Barricade, from the French barrique(barrel), is any object or structure that
creates a barrieror obstacle to control, block passage or force the flow
of trafficin the desired direction. Adopted as a military term, a barricade denotes
any improvised field fortification, such as on city streets during urban warfare.
Barricades also include temporary traffic barricadesdesigned with the goal of
dissuading passage into a protected or haardousarea or large slabs
of cementwhose goal is to actively prevent forcible passage by a vehicle. !tripes
on barricades and panel devices slope downward in the direction traffic must
travel."#$"%$

barricades came to widespread public awareness in that uprising (and in the
e=ually momentous 6!econd 7ay of the Barricades6 on #> August 329), none of
several conflicting claims concerning who may have 6invented6 the barricade
stand up to close scrutiny for the simple reason that Blaise de -onluc hadalready documented insurgents0 use of the techni=ue at least as early as 32? in
religiously based conflicts in southwestern France.
Although barricade construction began in France in the siteenth century and
remained an eclusively French practice for two centuries, the nineteenth century
remained the classic era of the barricade. :ontrary to a number of historical
sources, barricades were present in various incidents of the great French
5evolution of 3>9?, but they never played a central role in those events. &heywere, however, a highly visible and conse=uential element in many of the
insurrections that occurred in France throughout the 39**s, including in the
revolutions of 39%* (6the @uly 7ays6) and 399 (in both February and @une.)
/ther 8arisian events included the @une 5ebellionof 39%#, which was smaller in
scale, but rendered famous by ictor ;ugo0s account in Les Misrables, the
combat that ended the 8aris :ommune in -ay 39>3, and the more symbolic
structures created in -ay 3?29.
&he barricade began its diffusion outside France in the 3>9*s and played a
significant role in the Belgian 5evolutionof 39%*, but it was only in the course of
the upheaval of 399 that it became truly international in scope. 4ts spread across
the :ontinent was aided by the circulation of students, political refugees, and
itinerant workers through the French capital, where many gained first'hand
eperience of one or another 8arisian insurrection. &he barricade had, by the
middle of the nineteenth century, become the preeminent symbol of a
revolutionary tradition that would ultimately spread worldwide. Barricade
references appear in many collo=uial epressions and are used, often
metaphorically, in poems and songs celebrating radical social movements.
