Tecniche performative nella narrativa galloromanza

Abstract

Medieval literature, far more than modern, is characterized by the performative. Thanks to their oral presentation and performances by jongleurs, each one different from the other, literary works tend to change, to renew themselves, according to the audience’s tastes. This paper will examine some of the most important and best known works in Old French, as well as in Occitan, in order to pick out those stylistic and thematic aspects that concur to make the medieval literary tradition performative.
