Abstract

De Thierry la fronde à The Witcher, en passant par Vikings et Kaamelott, les séries télévisées consacrées au Moyen Age nous font tour à tour rêver et trembler, mais peignent ensemble le portrait d'une époque médiévale fascinante. Alors que les grosses productions récentes rivalisent de plus en plus avec le cinéma, mettant en scène des fresques épiques et des aventures spectaculaires, les séries conservent toujours sur le grand écran l'avantage de la durée et de la proximité. Par leur diffusion étendue, elles se révèlent être le moyen privilégié pour présenter des héros complexes impliqués dans des intrigues foisonnantes, qu'il s'agisse d'adapter de grandes sagas de fantasy ou des épisodes tirés de l'histoire européenne. Malgré leur diversité apparente, toutes ces séries puisent dans un même imaginaire : celui de nobles chevaliers faisant parler le fer dans un monde à la fois merveilleux et violent. Les séries contribuent ainsi à rendre le Moyen Age familier, mais aussi à entretenir l'image négative des "Ages sombres" , largement remise en question par la recherche historique. En s'appuyant sur des dizaines de séries diffusées depuis les années 1950 jusqu'à aujourd'hui, ce livre décrypte l'image que les séries retiennent et entretiennent de la période médiévale. Il montre comment l'usage et l'évolution de ces programmes contribuent à peindre un Moyen Age en clair-obscur, beaucoup plus nuancé qu'on ne le croit souvent.

Abstract

This is a collection of essays that study the contemporary cultural depictions of medievalism. The book attempts to unravel distortions that tend to domesticate the era and represent it as an extension of modern life. Several authors claim that modernity is so radically different to medieval life that we can only view the past as an extension of the present, rather than as radically different. The present distorts, and often politicizes the past, and these essays explore how everything from commercials, and video games, to the war on terror can contain elements of neo-medieval revisionism.

Abstract

Game of Thrones is famously inspired by the Middle Ages - but how authentic is the world it presents? This volume offers different angles to the question.
