Abstract

Quelles sont les conditions sociales et intellectuelles de la mise en œuvre d’un calcul économique ? Comment rendre compte des aspects cognitifs et rituels des pratiques économiques ? En portant attention aux techniques intellectuelles utilisées par les acteurs économiques, dans leur matérialité même, les chercheurs réunis ici, historiens et anthropologues, ont découvert de surprenantes convergences entre l’histoire des mathématiques chinoises et celle du Moyen Âge occidental, de surprenantes continuités entre les façons de tenir ses comptes du XIIIe au XVIIIe siècle. Ils ont surtout mieux compris l’intérêt de confronter des données issues d’univers sociaux éloignés : loin de tenir pour acquise la partition du monde entre ce qui est économique et ce qui ne l’est pas, leur questionnement porte sur les modalités du calcul pratique et en restitue les cadres rituels et cognitifs.

Abstract

This pioneering book studies the function and status of the written word in Carolingian society in France and Germany in the eighth- and ninth-centuries. It demonstrates that literacy was by no means confined to a clerical élite, but was dispersed in lay society and used for government and administration, and for ordinary legal transactions among the peoples of the Frankish kingdom. While exploiting a huge range of primary material, Professor McKitterick does not confine herself to a functional analysis of the written word in Carolingian northern Europe but goes on to assess the consequences and implications of literacy for the Franks themselves and for the subsequent development of European society after 1000. Key topics discussed include law and the use of the written word, the conduct and record of legal transactions, the economic and social status of the book in Carolingian society, the methods evolved to organize and define written knowledge, and the whole question of lay literacy.

Abstract

Research on the practices and impacts of literacy has revolutionized the study of medieval history and culture. After initially having focused on investigating the modernising aspects of the development of literacy during the Middle Ages, the discussion now involves a large variety of topics, such as the performance of writing and reading, the use of the written word in political ritual and, on a general level, the ‘otherness’ of medieval communication. The volume presents essays dealing with a wide range of social and political uses of the written word during the Middle Ages, from the Carolingian era to late medieval Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Burgundy. It presents a panorama of the current state of the research and also offers new insights into the current conceptual debates about the history of communication in premodern Europe.
