    Ronsard et l'invention d'une poétique de la merveille (1550-1556)

    Series series Travaux d'Humanisme et Renaissance
    Les premières œuvres de Ronsard sont le creuset d’une poétique de l’émerveillement.

  • "Dieu à nostre commerce et societé" : Montaigne et la théologie

    by Collectif ...
    Series series Travaux d'Humanisme et Renaissance
    La question religieuse occupe une place essentielle à la Renaissance et il eut été étrange que Montaigne ne s’y intéressât pas, ni ne commentât les querelles théologiques et dogmatiques qui marquèrent son époque. Montaigne situe en effet les pratiques religieuses – notamment la prière – dans le contexte des guerres de religion et constate que ses contemporains appellent trop souvent « Dieu à ... Read more

  • "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted"

    The Discourse of Opposites in Twelfth-Century Thought

    In high medieval France, men and women saw the world around them as the product of tensions between opposites.

  • "Hors toute intimidation" : Panurge ou la parole singulière

    Series series Travaux d'Humanisme et Renaissance
    Panurge, le moins estimé des personnages rabelaisiens, est souvent traité comme le faire-valoir du géant Pantagruel. Rabelais le convoque cependant si fréquemment et sous des traits suffisamment variés et essentiels à l’intrigue pour qu’il paraisse réducteur de ne voir en Panurge qu’un actant de second ordre. Elément complexe de la trame romanesque, Panurge étonne tout d’abord par son éloquence ... Read more

Les recueils rapportent en effet le rituel d’une infection sanguine ... Read more
