Abstract

Pour qui s'intéresse à la société médiévale, la question écologique peut sembler secondaire au regard du rapport à Dieu, des formes de domination ou de l'organisation politique. Les sciences paléo-environnementales, l'archéologie moderne et les textes de l'époque suggèrent pourtant que leurs rapports à la nature sont bien l'une des grandes questions que se posent les hommes du Moyen Âge.Remettant en cause le cliché d'une période de stagnation, livrée aux calamités naturelles, l'auteur montre que ces rapports n'ont cessé d'évoluer. L'évêque mérovingien, le serf d'un domaine carolingien, l'hôte d'un village neuf du XIIe siècle, le théologien du XIIIe siècle, ou le maître de forge du XVe siècle ne partagent ni la même vision ni les mêmes attentes vis-à-vis de la nature. Après l'an mille cependant, la croissance démographique, l'amélioration des moyens techniques et la redécouverte de la science grecque ont peu à peu fait basculer l'Occident dans un nouveau paradigme. La maîtrise du monde sensible devient un but collectif légitime et réalisable. La nature est alors fortement mise à contribution. Ainsi, si l'ouvrage couvre le millénaire médiéval, le cœur de l'enquête reste le grand développement des XIe, XIIe et XIIIe siècles, moment crucial de l'" invention de la nature ", gardienne de la Création et de ses lois, et d'une prise de conscience écologique qui n'en a pas encore le nom.

Abstract

The field of premodern environmental history (the study of the complex and ever-changing interrelationship between human beings and the world around them prior to the Industrial Revolution) has grown vigorously over the past two decades, in no small part due to the energy and expertise of Richard C. Hoffmann (York University, Canada). In this collection, historians of medieval and early modern Europe and social scientists with a sensitivity to the use of historical information present their current research in honor of Richard C. Hoffmann's retirement from teaching. The result is a panoramic and dynamic view of the state of the field of premodern environmental history by leading practitioners. The papers are organized under the broad themes of 'Premodern People and the Natural World' and 'Aquatic Ecosystems and Human Economies'. Contributors are Richard W. Unger, Paolo Squatriti, William Chester Jordan, Petra J.E.M. van Dam, Verena Winiwarter, Maryanne Kowaleski, Constance H. Berman, Pierre Claude Reynard, Wim Van Neer, and Anton Ervynck.
