Synopsis
Contributing Authors

La Constitution des Atheniens est un pamphlet ecrit par un Athenien du Ve siecle avant notre ere : partisan d’un regime oligarchique, l’auteur reproche a la democratie de laisser la parole aux pauvres et de leur donner le pouvoir d’opprimer les riches, qui devraient etre, selon lui, les seuls a gouverner. Pour les historiens d’aujourd’hui, cet ecrit est une source majeure sur le fonctionnement de la democratie athenienne et sur l’ideologie oligarchique, mais il n’a pas toujours ete compris ainsi. Les actes du colloque qui s’est tenu a Strasbourg en novembre 2018 retracent les aventures de ce pamphlet. Ils sondent les voies de sa transmission et parcourent l’histoire de ses lectures, de l’Athenes antique a l’epoque contemporaine. Peu cite dans l’Antiquite, l’opuscule arrive en Italie avec les lettres byzantins et circule dans les manuscrits qu’echangent les humanistes. Longtemps attribue a Xenophon et percu comme un tableau de murs fidele, il vient souvent illustrer les dangers du pouvoir populaire. Et ce sont des progressistes en politique qui contestent son credit historique, parce qu’il temoigne d’idees contraires aux leurs. Loin, cependant, de toute progression lineaire, son interpretation et son usage varient au gre d’influences multiples : l’evolution scientifique, mais aussi les circonstances, l’esprit du temps, la personnalite des interpretes ou leur tendance politique, des monarchistes aux marxistes en passant par les republicains ou les franquistes. En analysant les jalons majeurs de la reception de l’opuscule, ce volume remet en perspective ses interpretations d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.
