La Formule au Moyen Ăge
Description
Les modes de pensĂ©e et de reprĂ©sentation mĂ©diĂ©vaux sont profondĂ©ment marquĂ©s par l'usage de reprises et de rĂ©gularitĂ©s attendus et reconnaissables, qui sont sources de tensions productives entre expression individuelle et normes collectives, changement et continuitĂ©, crĂ©ation et convention. De façon trĂšs gĂ©nĂ©rale, toute formule se caractĂ©rise par un figement ou une rĂ©gularitĂ© plus ou moins marquĂ©e laissant la place, en creux, Ă l'innovation. La dĂ©finition de la formule se dĂ©cline diffĂ©remment en fonction de la discipline considĂ©rĂ©e, et cet ouvrage propose une rĂ©flexion interdisciplinaire sur ses diffĂ©rentes acceptions et sur les recoupements que l?on peut observer entre elles. En outre, un Ă©change entre plusieurs intervenants, poursuivant une discussion sous forme de table ronde Ă l?occasion du colloque international organisĂ© Ă Perpignan en 2014, vient clore le volume et propose un premier aperçu synthĂ©tique de l?emploi de la notion pour les diffĂ©rentes disciplines concernĂ©es : codicologie, diplomatique, Ă©pigraphie, histoire, histoire de l?art, littĂ©rature, linguistique, musicologie.00Ce travail sera prolongĂ© par de futures publications dans la mĂȘme collection, dans l?espoir que l?effort de clarification voulu permettra Ă d?autres d?explorer encore plus avant la notion de formule et de continuer Ă attester de sa fĂ©conditĂ© pour les Ă©tudes mĂ©diĂ©vales.
Medieval modes of thought and representation are deeply marked by the use of expected and recognizable repeats and regularities, which are sources of productive tensions between individual expression and collective norms, change and continuity, creation and convention. In a very general way, any formula is characterized by a more or less marked freezing or regularity, leaving room, in the hollow, for innovation. The definition of the formula is declined differently according to the considered discipline, and this work proposes an interdisciplinary reflection on its various meanings and on the overlaps which one can observe between them. In addition, an exchange between several speakers, continuing a discussion in the form of a round table on the occasion of the international conference organized in Perpignan in 2014, closes the volume and offers a first synthetic overview of the use of the concept for the various disciplines concerned: codicology, diplomacy, epigraphy, history, art history, literature, linguistics, musicology.00 This work will be extended by future publications in the same collection, in the hope that the desired clarification effort will allow others to further explore the notion of formula and to continue to attest to its fruitfulness for medieval studies.
