Arienti, Giovanni Sabadino degli (14..-1510) -- ˜Le œporretane

Résumé

Les porretane novelle, que l'ecrivain bolonais giovanni sabadino degli arienti compose, a la fin du 15eme siecle, en recuperant la structure narrative etagee et complexe de la forme recueil - dont le decameron avait fourni le modele -, constituent un moment important dans le processus d'apatyation des modalites et des contenus du narrable aux exigences du monde courtisan. Sont d'abord analyses les autres ecrits de sabadino, qui accompagnent la longue gestation du recueil et proposent des approches complementaires, souvent novatrices , de la narration en prose vulgaire. L'etude des porretane priviligie ensuite les procedes de la reecriture, et notamment l'approche de la beffa, cette structure narrative forte heritee du decameron. Il en ressort que, tout au long du recueil, sabadino conjugue la confrontation avec le decameron et l'intervention critique sur des textes contemporains : l'attention vigilante qu'il manifeste pour la litterature en train de se faire constitue sans doute l'un des traits les plus marquants de sa pratique de nouvelliste. Aussi le dernier chapitre de cette these, qui constitue en fait une monographie sur sabadino et la culture narrative de son milieu, comporte-t-il une mini-monographie bis, consacree a felice feliciano, dit l'antiquario, dont l'influence sur l'ecriture de sabadino est pour la premiere fois elucidee. En annexe, enfin, sont transcrits les 5 textes de feliciano (dont 4 inedits) que sabadino a exploites dans ses porretane.

The porretane novelle, which the bolognese writer giovanni sabadino degli arienti composed at the end of the 15th century, taking up once more the interconnected and complex narrative structure of the collection - a form whose model the decameron had provided -, mark an important stage in the process whereby storytelling adapted its methods and contents to the requirements of the courtly world. There is first an analysis of sabadino's other writings, which accompagny the collection's long gestation and offer complementary, and often innovative, ways of approaching vernacular prose narration. A study of the porretane then lays emphasis on the process of rewriting, notably the approach to the beffa, that powerful narrative structure inherited from the decameron. As a result we see that throughout the collection sabadino combines a comparison with the decameron and critical attention to contemporary texts : the close consideration which he pays to the literature being produced in his day undoubtedly constitutes one of the most salient characteristics of his practice as a short story writer. Thus the last chapter of this thesis, which in fact constitutes a monograph of sabadino and the narrative culture of his milieu, comprises a second moni-monigraph, deveted to felice feliciano, known as l'antiquario, whose influence on sabadino is brought to light for the first time. Finally, the appendix contains a transcription of feliciano's 5 texts (4 unpublished) which sabadino exploited in his perretane.
