Abstract

Ce volume de Mélanges en l'honneur du professeur Lawrence Kritzman réunit vingt-cinq articles de ses collègues et anciens étudiants qui analysent la littérature de la Renaissance française à l'aune de plusieurs méthodes critiques. Les contributions sont regroupées en cinq sections qui témoignent de la diversité des approches théoriques développées par Lawrence Kritzman : "théoriser la Renaissance au prisme de ses genres littéraires" ; "théories du genre (gender) et de la sexualité" ; "Montaigne est la théorie" ; "Rabelais pour le XXe siècle" ; "théoriser la poésie".Elles soulignent l'influence des travaux de Lawrence Kritzman sur la recherche actuelle en littérature française du XVIe siècle.

Abstract

"Memory & Community in Sixteenth-Century France engages the question of remembering from a number of different perspectives. It examines the formation of communities within diverse cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, especially in relation to the material conditions for producing texts and discourses that were the foundations for collective practices of memory. The Wars of Religion in France gave rise to numerous narrative and graphic representations of bodies remembered as icons and signifiers of the religious 'troubles.' The multiple sites of these clashes were filled with sound, language, and diverse kinds of signs mediated by print, writing, and discourses that recalled past battles and opposed different factions. The volume demonstrates that memory and community interacted constantly in 16th-century France, producing conceptual frames that defined the conflicting groups to which individuals belonged, and from which they derived their identities. The ongoing conflicts of the Wars hence made it necessary for people both to remember certain events and to forget others. As such, memory was one of the key ideas in a period defined by its continuous reformulations of the present as a forum in which contradictory accounts of the recent past competed with one another for hegemony. One of the aims of Memory and Community in Sixteenth-Century France is to remedy the lack of scholarship on this important memorial function, which was one of the intellectual foundations of the late French Renaissance and its fractured communities"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Storytelling in Sixteenth-Century France: The Negotiation of Shifting Forms is an innovative, interdisciplinary examination of parallels between the early modern era and the world in which we live today. Readers are invited to look to the past to see how, then as now, people turn to storytelling to integrate and adapt to rapid social change, to reinforce or restructure community, to sell new ideas, and to refashion the past. Like the change that it reflects, the telling of stories is itself a dynamic process, in which narratives are constantly renewed, revised and reformed. The stories of an era not only assume multiple, changing forms, but also surface in unexpected domains that seem, at first, incompatible with the storytelling enterprise: domains like medicine and diplomacy. Identifying the commonalities between the storytelling approach in diverse domains helps us better understand the conventions of a specific time and place (in this case, different decades in sixteenth-century France) while simultaneously revealing sites of resistance where these conventions were tested. This understanding heightens, in turn, our awareness of the stories shaping our own era"--
