Version fran&#231;aiseArgumentaireL&#8217;&#233;tude des contestations populaires de l&#8217;&#233;poque moderne se heurte &#224; une difficult&#233; souvent mise en &#233;vidence : la raret&#233; des sources &#233;manant des communaut&#233;s r&#233;volt&#233;es, qui conduisent l&#8217;historien &#224; d&#233;velopper une &#171; approche oblique &#187; (P. Burke) des cultures populaires par une relecture des sources &#233;crites compil&#233;es par les autorit&#233;s. Les sources recueillies de tradition orale &#8211; chansons, r&#233;cits l&#233;gendaires, anecdotes, proverbes&#8230; &#8211; apparaissent d&#232;s lors comme une documentation privil&#233;gi&#233;e pour contourner cette difficult&#233;, m&#234;me si elles pr&#233;sentent d&#8217;autres probl&#232;mes m&#233;thodologiques : mises par &#233;crit ou enregistr&#233;es parfois plusieurs si&#232;cles apr&#232;s les &#233;v&#233;nements, elles sont le fruit d&#8217;une transmission plurig&#233;n&#233;rationnelle qui ob&#233;it &#224; des ph&#233;nom&#232;nes complexes de construction m&#233;morielle. Peu de travaux ont &#233;t&#233; consacr&#233;s par les historiens &#224; l&#8217;usage de telles sources pour l&#8217;histoire et la m&#233;moire des contestations des XVe-XVIIIe si&#232;cles, malgr&#233; quelques &#233;tudes marquantes (par exemple P. Joutard ou G. Beiner).Ces journ&#233;es entendent donc faire le point sur l&#8217;apport des sources de tradition orale pour l&#8217;&#233;tude de l&#8217;histoire et de la m&#233;moire des r&#233;voltes et contestations entre le XVe et le XVIIIe si&#232;cle, en encourageant le dialogue entre historiens et chercheurs d&#8217;autres disciplines ayant un lien fort avec les sources orales (en particulier l&#8217;ethnologie et l&#8217;ethnomusicologie). Elles sont envisag&#233;es comme un pr&#233;lude &#224; un colloque international pr&#233;vu autour de cette th&#233;matique &#224; l&#8217;Universit&#233; d&#8217;Oxford en 2014. Les questionnements suivants seront abord&#233;s :    L&#8217;apport des sources orales pour l&#8217;analyse historique des contestations et les questions m&#233;thodologiques qui en d&#233;coulent : fiabilit&#233; et variabilit&#233; des donn&#233;es ; int&#233;r&#234;t des sources orales et compl&#233;mentarit&#233; par rapport aux sources &#233;crites et iconographiques ; apport diff&#233;renci&#233; selon les genres narratifs.    Les facteurs de construction et de transmission de la m&#233;moire des r&#233;voltes et contestations : ph&#233;nom&#232;nes de s&#233;lection, de transformation et d&#8217;oubli ; m&#233;canismes d&#8217;h&#233;ro&#239;sation ; influences r&#233;ciproques entre sources orales et &#233;crites ; circulations, transferts et renouvellements des r&#233;cits dans l&#8217;espace et dans le temps (espace europ&#233;en et extra-europ&#233;en).    Le r&#244;le de la m&#233;moire orale des r&#233;voltes et des contestations dans la construction des identit&#233;s collectives : signification des &#171; erreurs de m&#233;moire &#187; et inad&#233;quation entre les histoires &#171; officielles &#187; et les sources orales ; m&#233;moires orales concurrentes ; r&#233;activation et r&#233;invention de r&#233;cits de contestations dans des contextes politiques ult&#233;rieurs.Les &#233;tudes sur la p&#233;riode allant du XVe si&#232;cle au XVIIIe si&#232;cle, incluant la p&#233;riode r&#233;volutionnaire, rentrent dans le cadre de ces journ&#233;es.

A way round this difficulty is offered by the records of these events preserved in &#8216;oral tradition&#8217; (songs, legends, anecdotes, proverbs&#8230;), even though these sources present other methodological difficulties. Usually recorded long after the events themselves, such material is the outcome of transmission over multiple generations, and sometimes through multiple genres: the form and content of such sources are the result of complex interactions between history, memory and tradition. With some notable exceptions (such as Philippe Joutard and Guy Beiner), few historians have turned to such sources to explore the history and memory of early modern revolts.The purpose of this workshop is to highlight the potential of oral cultural sources for the study of the history and memory of popular revolts and social conflicts between the fifteeenth and the eighteenth century. We plan to highlight the existing studies, and encourage specialists working in different regions to learn how to approach such sources. We want to encourage interaction between historians and specialists in the field of oral culture, such as ethnologists, folklorists and ethnomusicologists. By these means we will prepare the groundwork for an international conference on this theme in Oxford in 2014. We welcome proposed papers that deal with one or more of the following issues:     The value of oral cultural sources for the study of social conflict in the early modern period, and the methodological questions that arise from their use; the quality and reliability of the sources; the ways in which oral cultural sources complement the written and pictorial record; the effect of genre conventions on the accounts provided.    The factors that influence the construction and transmission of the memory of popular revolts: how particular versions of events were chosen, transformed and forgotten; mechanisms of popular heroisation; the interaction between the oral and the written record; the circulation, transfer and renewal of accounts across time and space, both within and outwith Europe.     The role played by the memory of popular revolts and social conflicts in the construction of collective identities; the significance of &#8216;false memories&#8217;, and the contradictions between the &#8216;official record&#8217; and oral cultural sources; the mobilisation and rearticulation of popular memories of social conflict in later political contexts.We welcome proposals concerning revolts that took place between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, including the revolutionary period. Although our main focus will be Europe, papers addressing other regions, and the circulation of narratives between regions, are also sought. We hope that this call for papers will be answered both by historians but also by researchers in other disciplines who deal with these sources, and these questions. To submitProposals for papers (300 words maximum) should be sent to eva.guillorel@history.ox.ac.uk, accompanied by very short biographical detailsbefore 30 September 2012The organisers have some funds available for travel and accommodation expenses for participants coming from Europe. Details are available upon enquiry.
