Appel à communications : Rire des affaires du temps. Écritures comiques et actualité (1560-1653)

Submitted by ccarlin on 14 June 2019 - 4:35pm

Université Paris Nanterre, 4-5 juin 2020

Les intenses troubles sociaux et politiques connus par la France depuis les conflits religieux (dès 1560) jusqu’à la fin de la Fronde (1653) ont fait l’objet de nombreux travaux sur les dynamiques propres aux débats et querelles de l’époque, sur la circulation des idées et des livres, etc. L’histoire et la critique littéraires ont en particulier retenu et analysé les publications qui rendaient compte de la cruauté et de la violence des conflits de manière frontale (théâtre et récits sanglants notamment).
