Cette étude s’attache à l’analyse du discours élaboré, dans les sources narratives germaniques du Xe et du début du XIe siècle, sur la famille et la parenté aristocratiques, pour envisager les rapports entre autoreprésentation aristocratique, représentation cléricale et réalité sociale. La famille ne se définit pas biologiquement mais est un phénomène historiquement construit. Le discours sur la parenté et la famille, délivré par des clercs, montre comment ceux-ci, et plus globalement le grou..

Ottonian queens and empresses exercised real political power during minorities and in the absence of kings and emperors. This leads to the question of representations. In fact, Ottonian narrative texts did not hesitate to apply the adjective virilis to women. In the Chronicon of Thietmar von Merseburg, this adjective was ascribed in particular to the protection provided by the empress regnant Theophanu for her young son Otto III. At the same time, Thietmar portrays King Rudolph III of Burgundy as soft and effeminatus. Ottonian writers, men and clerics, represented the relationship between gender and political power, both by focusing on the gendered ideology of power, and by showing how these categories could be manipulated for the defence of specific political ideas or interests.

L'analyse du discours sur la famille et la parente aristocratiques permet d'etudier les rapports entre autorepresentation aristocratique, representation clericale et realite sociale. La famille est un phenomene historiquement construit par la pratique et le discours. Elle apparait comme un groupe cognatique structure par la consanguinite, polarise par la cellule conjugale. Les aristocrates s'autorepresentent et mettent en pratique leur parente vecue selon leurs besoins ; les c1ercs composent des recits interpretatifs et souvent moralisateurs appuyes sur des modeles bibliques et une vision providentielle du monde. La Chronique de Thietmar de Mersebourg donne acces a la conscience de soi d'un individu, eveque membre d'un groupe parental aristocratique et montre comment s'articulent et sont vecues ces differentes identites. La memoire, l' oubli et les affects des auteurs et des acteurs interviennent dans la composition de chaque texte, qui defend une interpr...

Medieval society attached great importance to the culture of obedience, to respect for tradition and to the hierarchic principle. But, on the other hand, the society was regularly troubled by all kinds of rebellions, dissidences and revolts, which could even turn into revolutions. Medieval figures of contestation were a major object of research during the period from 1960-1970, in keeping with the spirit of the times. Subsequently interest in this type of research diminished and became more sporadic. At a time when new research on the topic of heresy attempts to rethink the relationship between disobedience and rebellion, when Intellectual History takes a new look at the destinies of certain figures of contestation and when there is renewed interest in the great revolts of the peasants, the city-dwellers and the nobles, we can once again take a serious look at the whole complex picture of medieval contestation. To do this we do not necessarily have to mention the anniversary of the Jacquerie of 1358 nor take into consideration the current newsworthy “Yellow Vests” movement. It is this task that the 49th Congress of the SHMESP, which took place in Rennes in 2018, set itself. Thus, the studies presented in this volume explore in turn the ways in which Latin, Byzantine and Muslim Society of the Middle Ages articulated and defined contestation, the different motives that lay behind contestation and revolt, and the ways and means of questioning the Established Order. Finally, they examen the ends of these contestations and the effects they may have had beyond their often-tragic denouement and jarring memory.
