| Abstract | The unity of 'French medieval theater' appears like a dogma of literary history; yet there is a priori no reason to assume that all plays in French are part of one unique tradition.The approach had mainly been guided by genres rather than by the mediatic function of drama and its social inscription in regional cultures or in local subcultures. As a first step towards 'Another history of Drama in French during the Middle Ages', this session will question the validity of generic concepts in relation to communicative situations and present examples of what happens when the plays and the traditions are studied from a perspective of geographical, chronological and social diversity. |
