ENBaCH

Featured

European Network for Baroque Cutural Heritage is a research project promoted and economically supported by the European Commission through the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). It involves a network of eight Universities located in six different European countries: Universitat de Barcelona, Technische Universität Dresden, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales – Paris, La Sapienza Università di Roma, Università di Teramo, Uniwersytet Warszawski, Universität Wien, wishing to resort to digital tools and technologies to pool and share their respective historical heritage of “Baroque”, common and contrasted at the same time.

Thus, ENBaCH aims at elaborating a multiple-approach pattern for promoting knowledge concerning the European baroque cultural heritage and creating innovative strategies for disseminating historical consciousness not only among scholars and academics, but also among school teachers, primary and secondary schools students, life-long education programs, policy makers, civil servants and a wider public.

Louis Machon, apologiste de Machiavel

Machon_affiche_2

Demi-journée d’études organisée par le Grihl, CRH-EHESS – EA 174

samedi 15 mars 2015, 9h-13h
Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle
salle de l’École Doctorale, Max Milner
17 rue de la Sorbonne, Paris, escalier C, 2e étage

Louis Machon est l’auteur de la seule défense directe et systématique de Machiavel en langue française du XVIIe siècle : Apologie pour Machiavelle. La politique des Rois, et La science des souverains en faveur des Princes et des Ministres d’Estat. Il nous reste deux états autographes complets du texte, composés à 25 ans d’intervalle (1643 et 1668).

Il s’agit d’une entreprise ambitieuse et de grande ampleur (985 pages manuscrites), visant à la réhabilitation politique de Machiavel, chaque chapitre ayant pour titre une « maxime » tirée des Discours sur la première décade de Tite-Live (premier livre) ou du Prince (deuxième livre). Les maximes sont les plus scandaleuses et censurées prêtées à Machiavel mais de fait composées par les innombrables ennemis de Machiavel.

Il suffit, pour s’en convaincre, de parcourir les six premières maximes du premier livre : 1- Qu’il est permis d’usurper, et conquerir des Estats par la force des armes; 2- Que le prince doibt entretenir les seditions et dissentions parmy ses sujets, pour le bien de son Estat; 3- Qu’il fault appaiser les seditions, et emotions populaires, par la force et la violence; 4- Que la cruauté qui tend a bonne fin n’est blasmable ; et que celle qui profite est louable; 5- Qu’il fault suivre la Religion par raison d’Estat, quoy que fausse et erronée, comme son principal appuy; 6- Qu’il fault accommoder la Religion a l’Estat, pour le bien et conservation d’iceluy; 7. Que l’Eglise Romaine apporte la confusion dans ses Estats. etc.

Après l’énoncé de chaque maxime, Machon cite des passages du texte original de Machiavel en italien (édition dite de la Testina), puis il donne leur traduction française (Jacques Gohory pour les Discours et Garpard d’Auvergne pour le Prince). C’est sur cette base philologique que Machon argumente pour défendre la philosophie politique de Machiavel, sans pour autant nier la pertinence des maximes machiavéliques, ceci à travers l’exploitation d’une immense bibliothèque : historiens et philosophes anciens, Bible, pères de l’Église, conciles, droit romain et canonique, casuistes, théologiens et de nombreux auteurs modernes dont, selon les cas, les noms sont donnés ou tus (Lipse, Montaigne, Charron, Grotius, Le Vayer, jusqu’au Pascal des Provinciales…). Le texte, véritable patchwork de citations avouées ou non, mais accompagnées d’interventions tranchées et décisives de l’auteur lui-même, produit une doctrine radicale de la raison d’État au profit du souverain absolu et de son ministre d’État.

La stratégie argumentative consiste dans un premier temps à dénoncer les abus des interprétations qui forcent les textes machiavéliens pour démontrer qu’ils ne sont pas autre chose que le catéchisme diabolique d’une politique tyrannique et impie, alors que l’auteur se propose au contraire de démontrer la compatibilité de l’enseignement machiavélien avec celui des Écritures, des Pères de l’Église et de la théologie la plus orthodoxe. Mais ce faisant, il entend tout autant démontrer que Machiavel, dans ses maximes les plus scandaleuses, ne fait pas autre chose que présenter de la façon la plus aigüe et la plus concentrée l’essentiel de la pensée politique de tous les temps, aussi bien païens que chrétiens, ses ennemis eux-mêmes s’empressant de le piller sans répit. Apparaît alors un substrat naturaliste mal camouflé, dont dépend et dérive toute juste théorie et bonne pratique politique, à commencer bien sûr par l’enseignement même de Machiavel.

La rencontre a pour objectif de conduire une première approche de ce texte déroutant, paradoxal, érudit et subversif, rapsodique et brutal.

Interviendront dans cette demi-journée d’étude :

Jérémie Barthas (Queen Mary University of London – School of History) : « Remarques sur l’Anti-Gentillet de Machon »

Guy Patin et ses interlocuteurs : Le “Manuscrit de Vienne”

GuyPatinDemi-journée d’étude organisée par le GRIHL, samedi 14 décembre 2013, 9h-13h
Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle, Salle de l’Ecole doctorale, Max Milner, 17 rue de la Sorbonne, Paris 5e

Le médecin et érudit Guy Patin (1601-1672) est l’auteur de tout un ensemble de cahiers manuscrits dont on trouve diverses copies dans plusieurs bibliothèques européennes. On les nomme souvent, par commodité, les « papiers Patin ». D’une copie perdue ont été tirés les Naudeana et Patiniana (1701 et 1703) qui ont marqué le genre des « ana » et ont joué un rôle important dans la constitution d’un corpus de textes érudits du siècle précédent, où la libre pensée du siècle des Lumières apercevait sa propre genèse. Plus tard, à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, cette littérature est mobilisée pour identifier les caractéristiques propres aux activités confidentielles des savants « libertins » (« libertins érudits » selon la formule de René Pintard).

Le manuscrit de Vienne (Stadtbibliothek, codex 7071 – Hohendorf 133), peu exploité par l’historiographie (à l’exception notable de Pintard), montre que les originaux de Patin offraient une bien plus grande richesse et diversité de matériaux.
Il est aussi le seul à donner des indications précises sur la manière dont opérait Patin dans la rédaction de ces cahiers, où il consignait d’abord des informations délivrées oralement par de savantes relations : « Monsieur Naudé ayant esté douze ans en Italie est enfin revenu à Paris l’an 1642, le 12 mars et le 19, m’estant venu voir il m’a appris ce qui s’ensuit… » ; « Le Lundy 1er Juin 1643, j’ay vû Mr. Grotius, Ambassadeur de Suede en son logis, qui comme il est un des scavans hommes du monde, m’enseigna quantité de belles et bonnes choses, dont en voicy quelques eschantillons »…

Cette matinée d’études sera consacrée à la fois à cerner la spécificité et à explorer les contenus de ses cahiers, constitués de notices concernant la vie savante, les livres, la religion, etc., et dont leur auteur pensait qu’elles ne pouvaient recevoir une forme imprimée.

Programme :

Jean-Pierre Cavaillé (Grihl, EHESS Toulouse) : « Réflexion sur le statut des Papiers Patin »

Laurence Giavarini (Grihl, Centre Chevrier, Univ Dijon) : Que voit-on dans les Papiers Patin ?

Frédéric Gabriel (ENS Lyon) : « Remarques sur les assignations d’identités confessionnelles et l’hétéropraxie dans le manuscrit Patin de Vienne de Vienne : critique textuelle et factuelle »

Alain Mothu (CELF, Univ. Paris-Sorbonne) : « Naudé et l’irréligion dans le manuscrit Patin de Vienne »

The aim of this conference will be not only to discuss the research results produced by the eight project partners, but also to serve as an opportunity for a multidisciplinary meeting of groups and individual researchers studying the Baroque Period from every possible perspective: from politics to literature, from society to art and from music to science.

The key word envisioned in our approach is multiplicity: not only a multiplicity of issues and approaches, but also that of the very notion of Baroque society and culture. We do not believe it is fruitful to limit the notion of “Baroque Period” with a precise and univocal definition.

In view of the fact that the very notion of the Renaissance has recently been reinterpreted, “leaving behind the old interpretative traditions centring on the principles of equilibrium and harmony” and shifting our attention to its “nocturnal, dark and obscure side,”[1] it seems completely misleading to attribute an incontrovertible definition to Baroque.

J.A. Maravall’s attempt to resolve this issue by grounding the Baroque in a temporal-spatial matrix and emphasising the culture of an epoch characterized by “individual and social instability”[2] produces more issues than it resolves. In fact, financial-economic crises, wars, social inequality and economic, political and social turbulence are characteristic of the entire modern era, not just the seventeenth century.

Moreover, we know that different disciplines ascribe vastly different stylistic elements and time ranges to the Baroque. Indeed, in a recent article published on the Piccola Storia dell’Arte (Einaudi), T. Montanari posits that Baroque may only be used to define the “figurative art that began to develop in Rome about 1600.” Elsewhere, the Baroque is found not on account of a generic esprit du temps, but “following the journeys of artists, the circulation of works and sketches and other ascertainable historical phenomena [… ] without forgetting the degree to which the intelligentsia of Europe expanded its communication channels in the seventeenth century.”[3]

In the history of Literature, or at least of Italian Literature, the precocious identification of the Baroque with Marinism led to a similarly precocious condemnation; so much so, that the phenomenon may be limited to the first half of the century. Only Emanuele Tesauro’s Aristotelian Telescope (1670) or Meninni’s Ritratto del sonetto e della canzone (1677) would allow us to extend it to the second half of the seventeenth century[4], when the figurative arts were still fully dominated by the “heroic” figures of the founding fathers[5]. With regard to the literary historiography of other European countries, the idea of the Baroque attracted the interest of W. Benjamin in the 1920s, but his book on the origins of German Baroque drama[6] was not well received by academia[7]; in France, researchers ignored the notion of Baroque until well after the Second World War[8].

The use of the term Baroque is even controversial in musical historiography. Since the mid nineteenth century, there have been countless discussions on its meaning, although no universally accepted definition has ever been reached to define “Baroque Music” – or better – “the music of the Baroque Period.” (Indeed, some musicologists have serious doubts about the concrete meaning of such a term and tend to avoid it.) Nonetheless, by convention, the connotation of the term that overflows its original meaning (extravagant, ephemeral) is widely applied. While, on the one hand, there is the notion that it is illogical to use a single label to encompass a century and a half of musical production and evolution characterized by great variety and differences; on the other, it appears inevitable to recognize the wider meaning that the term has come to acquire.

So, what do we intend by “Baroque”? Why, notwithstanding all of this, have we decided not only to use the term, but also to insert it in the title of our research project?

The main reason to use the term “Baroque” is grounded in its force and rhetorical valence, as well as its immediate instinctive contraposition to the term “Renaissance” as the stereotypical founding moment of the “modern individual” and the “modern age”. Emphasising a concept that is traditionally juxtaposed to that of order and harmony, underlines how modern Europe is the result of a complicated and contradictory process that was not governed by a red thread or a teleological process. Europe was not born from a linear process, but from a curving, elliptical and spiralling one. Its history, just like the Baroque Period, has been “intensely dramatic due to its intrinsic and deeply rooted contradictions, building on antinomies that have not yet been reconciled – as has been possible with Romanticism – by a skilful use of dialectics.”[9]

At the same time, we felt that the notion of Baroque was capable of evoking the great movement of men and objects alluded to by Montanari. This mobility conquered intellectuals and workers and provided them with new communication instruments ranging from the exchange of letters, typical of the Republic of Letters, to the relatively easier circulation of handiwork, books and paintings that could divulge news.

ENBaCH has concentrated significantly on these different forms of mobility. A number of units (Barcelona, Greifswald, Paris, Rome, Teramo) have worked on the movements of artists and literati, as well as viceroys, diplomats, doctors, informers and more or less official spies. Other units (Dresden, Greifswald, Vienna) have concentrated on the circulation of handiwork and representations of the crafts that could be used as models for workers far removed from the site of origin. Some privileged the circulation of ideas fuelled by books and at times by human beings (Paris, Rome, Teramo, Warsaw, Vienna), while others turned to the performance and circulation of ceremonial and scenic designs from religious rituals to theatrical stage designs and other ephemeral uses (Dresden, Rome, Teramo).

All of these perspectives will be addressed through the organisation of issue-specific panels. A preliminary version of the draft agenda is attached. However, as we have already mentioned, we also intend to convene all those who are interested in these issues and ask them to present their research work and discuss it together with our work and us.

“European Networks in the Baroque Era” – International Conference hosted at the “Josephinum”, Vienna, 26-29 September 2012

The first general conference of the ENBaCH Project is intended to bring together research on Baroque forms of exchange and networking, as a basis for a modern network of researchers working on themes related to the cultural heritage of Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The European Network for Baroque Cultural Heritage (ENBaCH) – is a research project supported and funded by the European Commission.

“Baroque” of course has various connotations depending on regions and cultural contexts but also on various approaches in different research fields. As ENBaCH is defined as an interdisciplinary project it is intended to confront these aspects and discuss their impact on what might be defined as “European Cultural Heritage”

A well-known historiograpical conundrum is the question of periodization. One useful, practicable approach is the collection of characteristics of an epoch from the cultural point of view: works of art, intellectual activities and developments, societal structures and contemporary ways of coping with diverse challenges in a specific society. Baroque culture was influenced by war, famine and epidemic diseases, and the resulting urgency of finding collaborative solutions for survival. New environments and infrastructures, increased mobility of craftsmen, artists and workers as well as the trade of artefacts and goods, and a vivid exchange of knowledge mark the period as much as its art, which represents a reaction to these threats to life in various ways.

We welcome papers on the following aspects of Baroque culture and exchange in particular:

•    formal and informal networks of politics (e.g. the role of courts, diplomacy, agents) in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
•    the Baroque circulation of ideas and knowledge (e.g. the Republic of Letters)
•    the development of arts and cultural practices (“artists and artefacts on the move”,
baroque festivals and piety, fashion, cooking, etc.)
•    (with particular relevance to the venue of the conference): the Baroque perception of the
human body in various works of art, death and dying in relation to confessional
    frameworks, coping with disease and disaster from a medical point of view (e.g. health
care provisions, facing famine and epidemic disease) and collaboration in medicine
    and health care

Conference language: English. The papers should be given in English and should take max. 20 minutes. Discussions and commentaries by attending delegates may include also other languages.

Abstracts of one page max., in English, accompanied by a very short CV, should be sent to baroquebodies@meduniwien.ac.at  by the end of April 2012

We will be able to cover moderate travelling costs and accommodation for invited speakers other than those involved in the ENBaCH project. Please enquire for details.

– Table ronde

Dans le cadre du travail d’édition de la Vie de Michel de Marillac, nous voudrions confronter nos réflexions d’ordre méthodologique sur les façons de donner à lire un texte d’Ancien Régime : comment penser son statut d’écrit, les formes de sa publication (manuscrite et imprimée), comment rendre compte des modélisations qui le relient à d’autres textes (ici, des récits de vie), ou à l’inverse le produire dans sa singularité ? Les participants de cette table-ronde, historiens et littéraires, apporteront leurs expériences respectives et leurs questions, issues notamment des séminaires du Grihl (« Écriture et action », « Ecritures du passé : Localisations, visualisations »), des séminaires de Robert Descimon et Elie Haddad (« Transmission et parenté dans la noblesse française de robe et d’épée aux xvie et xviie siècles », « Les élites du pouvoir à l’épreuve de la monarchie absolue aux xvie et xviie siècles »), et du travail de l’équipe préparant actuellement l’édition électronique critique de La Vie de Michel de Marillac.

Cette table ronde sera coordonnée par Laurence Giavarini (Grihl-Centre Chevrier-UMR 3507, Université de Bourgogne), Sophie Houdard (Grihl, Université Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle) et Alain Cantillon (Grihl, Université Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle)

 

journée d’études : “Nicolas Lefevre de Lezeau et l’écriture”

Penser l’édition numérique critique : La Vie de Michel de Marillac par Nicolas Lefevre de Lezeau  – Première journée d’études

“Nicolas Lefevre de Lezeau et l’écriture”

Mercredi 23 mars 2011, 9h – 17h

Programme

Dans le cadre du programme européen ENBaCH (European Network for Baroque Cultural Heritage), notre équipe réalise une édition électronique critique du texte de Nicolas Lefèvre de Lezeau, La Vie de Michel de Marillac. Les enjeux d’un tel travail sont multiples.

L’originalité du texte de Nicolas Lefèvre de Lezeau est d’exister sous forme de différents manuscrits corrigés à différentes dates, pour une publication qui ne se fit jamais, de sorte qu’entre les années 1640 et 1660, nous avons la possibilité d’observer variations, ratures et réécritures, c’est-à-dire toute une économie textuelle : ce qui peut être dit et ce qu’il n’est plus possible de dire. Plus qu’une édition électronique d’un texte, nous tentons l’édition électronique d’une dynamique textuelle.

Le second objet de notre travail est de produire de l’analyse en même temps que l’établissement du texte et de ses différentes variantes. Dans cette opération scientifique encore inédite, nous avons recours à la méthode d’analyse TEI qui nous permet d’encoder des passages de texte selon des axes problématiques (portée politique du propos, présence du narrateur, modèle de dévotion…). Le recours aux outils informatiques nous permettra, dans la visualisation finale, d’observer le texte et ses différentes variantes sous un angle thématique.

Dans la longue construction de l’édition critique, nous avons souhaité différentes étapes de cristallisation sous forme de journées d’études. Cette première journée sera consacrée à Nicolas Lefèvre de Lezeau et l’écriture.

Au fil de l’analyse, Lefèvre de Lezeau est devenu de plus en plus central. A l’origine « écrasé » par Marillac, dissimulé dans un texte en apparence sans aspérité et sans révélation, l’auteur se révèle dans une écriture. Cette journée d’étude sera l’occasion de poser les enjeux du récit de vie dévot : construction d’un modèle de vie et de mort, mise en scène généalogique, relecture de l’histoire au service d’un projet politique. Dans sa Vie de Michel de Marillac, Lefèvre de Lezeau canalise tout acte dans une seule direction – celle de la dévotion, de la charité, de l’acceptation sereine de la providence, du détachement des affaires terrestres et d’une vision politique – pour en faire les parcelles d’une vie cohérente (sur le plan politique comme spirituel, sans possibilité de les séparer).

Le texte de Lefèvre de Lezeau est aussi le lieu d’une réflexion sur l’écriture en elle-même, l’écriture comme manière d’agir dans le monde, comme dévotion en acte et comme pratique politique.

Call for papers – “Historiography on the notion and category of “baroque”

As members of a research team, the Grihl (Groupe de recherches interdisciplinaires sur l’histoire du littéraire) integrated in the Centre de Recherches Historiques at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, we are participating in the ENBaCH project, European Network for Cultural Heritage Baroque (http://enbach.besmart.it/).

Within this framework, we would like to achieve a publication devoted to the historiography of the notion and category of “baroque” in every field (literature, art, philosophy, history, etc.). Papers written in English, Spanish, Italian or in any other European language will be welcome.

This publication will constitute an issue of the online journal of our research center (Les Dossiers du Grihl*), it is also dedicated to be available on the ENBaCH portal. It would be the opportunity to diversify the approaches and to try to cover the European area, dealing the very notion of Baroque within a historical perspective.

If you want to participate, please send us your proposal (10-20 lines) as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting papers is planned for September 2011.

Of course, don’t hesitate to ask us any additional information which you would like to know

With best regards,

Jean-Pierre Cavaillé (cavaille@ehess.fr)  and Cécile Soudan (csoudan@ehess.fr), for the editorial board of Les Dossiers du GRIHL
