Sujet de thèse: Éthique et esthétique de la médisance dans Les "Historiettes" de Tallemant des Réaux.
Le manuscrit autographe des "Historiettes", rédigé entre 1657 et 1659, ne fut "découvert" qu'en 1834, et publié la première fois en 1834. Dans son préambule, Tallemant des Réaux en signalait la forme (de "petits Mémoires" sans lien les uns avec les autres),le caractère clandestin ("ce ne sont pas choses à mettre en lumière") et le public ("je donne cela à mes amis").
Mon projet de recherche se fait à partir de ce pacte de lecture et en trois volets:
1) le statut de manuscrit par rapport à l'imprimé: est-ce que le manuscrit est gage de clandestinité? S'inscrit-il dans une sociabilité aux contours précis (celle des Salons par exemple)?
2) Au delà de son caractère ludique et de sa fonction de divertissement de salon, L'historiette, qui relève de l'anecdote,mérite-t-elle l'intérêt de l'historien? Malgré leur forme parodique, les "Historiettes" de Tallemant des Réaux vehiculent-elles une vérité historique? Sont-elles en accord avec les exigences de ce type de discours?
3) Esthétique et éthique du discours des Historiettes:
- La forme brève des "Historiettes" n'est pas sans rappeler celle des moralistes comme La Bruyère ou la Rochefoucauld. A l'instar des "Caratères" ou des "Maximes", les "Historiettes" véhiculent-elles un discours moraliste et une exemplarité sociale?
Par ailleurs, les procédés discursifs et rhétoriques d'inversion du discours relèvent d'une esthétique de la fiction et subvertissent le discours historique. Comment se fait-il que malgré ce paradoxe, les "Historiettes" se lisent aujourd'hui comme un témoignage incontournable du Grand Siècle?

I have published widely on medieval and early modern travel writing and sciences (geography, cosmography, teratology, zoology, astronomy and anthropology), especially in relation to the emergence of prose fiction and the novel, as well as in the general areas of utopian studies and the Atlantic world. My research and publications in the last decade have had primarily although not exclusively to do with the early modern history of dreams and dream theories in the North Atlantic rim (Western Europe, New France and New England).
