Le langage des fetes jesuites offers un account of the involvement of Jesuits in the renewal of the language of urban festival in France (between 16th -17th c), through the investigation of unpublished archives, festival books and iconographic documents.
Fete et jesuites : s’agit-il d’une tautologie du Grand Siecle, d’un oxymore antijesuite ou, a contrario, de l’accordance de la mission de la Compagnie de Jesus avec un langage universel qui est celui du spectaculaire ? Le livre met a jour le soubassement historique et culturel de l’image convenue des jesuites comme specialistes de la fete a travers une enquete menee a partir d’archives inedites, relations imprimees et documents iconographiques. L’auteur retrace l’implication des Jesuites dans le developpement du langage festif en France, entre la fin du XVIe et la premiere moitie du XVIIe siecle en proposant une approche renouvelee de l’etude de la fete, attentive aux visees spectaculaires des dispositifs ephemeres – les architectures, la decoration – et de ses composantes immaterielles – le son, la lumiere, l’odeur – qui ont laisse une trace durable dans la culture visuelle de l’epoque moderne.
