Sommario/riassunto

S’appuyant sur un intérêt accru ces dernières décennies pour l’époque médiévale et les phénomènes de revival, les participants au colloque qui s’est tenu à Lorient en avril 2005 se sont interrogés sur l’utilisation qui est faite du Moyen Âge dans différents contextes historiques et politiques, afin de voir en quoi la représentation qui en est proposée dans les arts, la littérature ou l’histoire, se trouve généralement sous-tendue par une visée idéologique, ou, tout au moins, par une vision du monde qui contribue à faire émerger telle ou telle image privilégiée du Moyen Âge. Les articles portent sur des sujets divers : représentations de figures historiques médiévales, échos et utilisations d’auteurs et de textes médiévaux, fortune littéraire et artistique de certains événements historiques du Moyen Âge, cinéma, architecture, arts plastiques… Ils ont trait à diverses aires culturelles, géographiques ou linguistiques. On peut ainsi constater combien cette question des représentations du Moyen Âge fait écho à des préoccupations modernes. Le présent volume constitue les actes de ce colloque et rassemble des études variées qui, sans prétendre à une impossible exhaustivité, donnent bien la mesure de la vitalité de l’époque médiévale dans les arts et les lettres, et ce jusqu’à notre époque.

pt. 1. The theory of a Deuteronomistic history and its refinements -- pt. 2. Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges -- pt. 3. Samuel, Kings -- pt. 4. New directions.

Sommario/riassunto

The Deuteronomic or, more properly, Deuteronomistic History is a modern theoretical construct which holds that the books of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings constitute a single work, unified by a basic homogeneity in language, style, and content. This construct owes much to the influence of Martin Noth’s classic study of the Deuteronomistic History, contained in his larger Uberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien. According to Noth, the Deuteronomist incorporated the deuteronomic law into the beginning of his work, framing it with speeches by Moses. The Deuteronomist then added other sources, such as tales of conquest and settlement, prophetic narratives and speeches, official annals and records. While this larger thesis has stood the test of time, there is much disagreement among contemporary scholars about a wide variety of issues. The present collection attempts to provide readers with an



understanding of the important developments, methodologies, and points of view in the ongoing debate. Both current essays and some older, classic essays that have shaped the larger debate are included. Ten are newly translated into English. Each essay is prefaced by a detailed foreword by one of the editors that summarizes and places the essay in its appropriate context, making the volume ideal for use in seminars or courses, as well as for individuals wishing to become familiar with the state of discussion on the Deuteronomistic History.
