  His verbis exprime luctum

  Media, Style, and Uses of Funerary Poetry (9th-12th Cent.)

  The passing of someone gives rise to a variety of written productions, especially poetic compositions: laments (planctus), epitaphs, and titles of mortuary rolls. At first sight, the distinctive feature of funerary poetry is thematic: death underpins its unity. Despite their discursive proximity, funerary poems distinguish themselves through the means of both formal (metrical, rhythmic poetry, or oral performance) and material criteria (codex, rotulus, stone). The aim of these sessions is to study poetic expressions of mourning in the light of their medium, their style and their usage. Our purpose is to question the notion of funerary poetry through the study of its various poetic manifestations, while pondering its production and reception: what are the precursory elements? What remains the same over the course of the following centuries? Why is it more appropriate to talk about a transformation or a clear break?
