• Sommario/riassunto: Les relations entre les intellectuels et le pouvoir constituent un enjeu ; majeur des sociétés arabes contemporaines. Cet ouvrage, qui fait remonter cette problématique au cœur de la société savante de l'époque arabe médiévale, actualise un débat des plus modernes en s'efforçant de montrer comment le progrès de la connaissance, le choix des mots, la transgression sont autant d'outils à disposition de l'homme de lettres à la cour pour défier l'autorité par ses seuls écrits, et partant, pour appeler à la réformer. Réputé ardu en raison de sa prose difficile d'accès, le Livre du plaisir partagé en amitié de Tawhīdī est souvent assimilé à une galerie de récits plaisants susceptibles d'édifier le public, à l'image de la vocation première des belles lettres arabes de l'époque médiévale. Cette étude vise en outre à montrer que le message de l'œuvre dépasse cette perspective pour plonger le lecteur au cœur d'une démarche qui tend à faire du savant le concurrent direct du gouvernant. The relationship between intellectuals and authority is one of the main issues which contemporary Arab society has had to contend with in recent times. This study traces the issue back to the Arab world of the Middle Ages. It updates current debate by endeavouring to show how advances in knowledge, choice of words, and transgression constitute powerful tools which the man of letters can use at the royal court to challenge sovereign authority. The Kitāb al-imtāʿ is considered a difficult text on account of its rather complex Arabic prose, and is often seen as a series of stories designed to enlighten the public, in keeping with the main objective of Classical Arabic literature (adab). This book aims to show that Tawḥīdī's work goes beyond this purpose: it provides the reader with another message - that the man of letters, as an authority in his own right, can become the main rival to the ruler.
