The concept of medieval historiography as "usable past" is here challenged and reassessed. The contributors' shared claim is that the value of medieval historiographical texts lies not only in the factual information the texts contain but also in the methods and styles they use to represent and interpret the past and make it ideologically productive. Violence is used as the key term that best demonstrates the making of historical meaning in the Middle Ages, through the transformation of acts of physical aggression and destruction into a memorable and usable past. The twelve chapters assembled here explore a wide range of texts emanating from throughout the francophone world. They cover a range of genres (chansons de geste, histories, chronicles, travel writing, and lyric poetry), and range from the late eleventh to the fifteenth century. Through examination of topics as varied as rhetoric, imagery, humor, gender, sexuality, trauma, subversion, and community formation, each chapter strives to demonstrate how knowledge of the medieval past can be enhanced by approaching medieval modes of historical representation and consciousness on their own terms, and by acknowledging - and resisting - the desire to subject them to modern conceptions of historical intelligibility.

Il volume indaga l'evoluzione della "professionalizzazione" della figura dello storiografo, dal XIII al XV secolo. Incerta, infatti, è la definizione del "genere" storiografico fino all'età umanistica, quando viene elaborata una specifica ars, che, facendo ricorso soprattutto alle regole retoriche ciceroniane, adatta la tecnica oratoria al rinnovato senso etico della humanitas. Dopo aver riflettuto, in una precedente miscellanea (Tra storiografia e retorica: prospettive nel basso medioevo italiano, a cura di M. Zabbia, in «Reti Medievali. Rivista», 19 (2018), con articoli di Paolo Garbini, Marino Zabbia, Fulvio Delle Donne) sulle scelte linguistiche e retoriche riscontrabili nelle opere degli storiografi più avvertiti, in questa occasione si presta attenzione agli interventi diretti dell'autore: la sua autorappresentazione, ovvero le sue riflessioni sul metodo usato rivelano, nel corso dei secoli, una presa di coscienza sempre più acuta delle peculiarità della scrittura storica. Il volume si inserisce nelle attività del PRIN (Progetto di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale) "A.L.I.M. (Archivio digitale della Latinità Italiana del Medioevo: http://www.alim.dfll.univr.it). Prassi e teoria dell'archiviazione informatica e del trattamento filologico-ecdotico dei testi medievali", coordinato presso l'Unità dell'Università della Basilicata da Fulvio Delle Donne.

Cet ouvrage analyse la formation des rites et traditions dans la Provence de la fin du Moyen Âge, puis leur évolution et parfois transformation en mythe. Ainsi l’entrée royale dont le rituel s’inspire de l’entrée de Jésus à Jérusalem le jour des Rameaux s’enrichit au XVIIe siècle d’un décor d’arcs de triomphe qui développent un discours historique à la gloire du souverain. Ainsi la procession de la Fête-Dieu d’Aix, cortège modeste et pieux à ses débuts au XIVe siècle, devient, à partir du XVIe siècle une parade bruyante et colorée, rythmée par la représentation de tableaux vivants, les « jeux » attribués sans raison au roi René. Un second ensemble d’études s’organise autour des histoires anciennes de la Provence et la constitution de l’image de deux personnages devenus de véritables figures légendaires, la reine Jeanne et le roi René, donnant lieu à une tradition narrative qui parasite encore aujourd’hui l’histoire. Un dernier ensemble d’articles s’attache à quelques récits apocryphes incrustés dans la mémoire collective et que l’on voit périodiquement resurgir : la légende du juif blasphémateur écorché vif à l’entrée de la Juiverie d’Aix, la bénédiction des calissons d’Aix, récit apocryphe à la limite du canular, fabriqué au milieu du XXe  siècle...
