    Seminar - Representation

    English and French orientalisms: porosities, interferences, and rivalries from the Middle Ages to Romanticism

    "Construction of the East" seminar

    L’orientalisme a pendant longtemps paru commencer avec le XIXe siècle et la naissance des empires coloniaux. Mais une étude plus fine des textes et de la circulation des idées permet d’établir qu’il n’en fut rien, et que, depuis l’antiquité jusqu’à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l’Occident fut le lieu d’une réception curieuse – parfois fascinée – d’un Orient plus ou moins fantasmatique, plus ou moins savant, dont les principaux « moments » de réception en Angleterre incluent la Renaissance, l’époque des Lumières et le Romantisme. Notre séminaire a pour objet l’étude tant littéraire qu’historique de cet Orient « pré-orientaliste » et « proto-orientaliste ».
