| Summary: | This thesis aims to bring a new perspective to Old French medieval songs from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and the discursive and ideological issues that shaped them. It demonstrates that the approach used by philologists since the nineteenth century must be reconsidered and that the existing corpus of medieval lyric songs can no longer be studied and analysed as a form of discourse that is solely literary, masculine and aristocratic in nature. On the contrary, other social groups in medieval society appropriated these lyrical genres for their own purposes and reinvested them with their own values, inscribing them in other, non-literary types of discourse. Even while being focused on the lyric production of the medieval period, this thesis addresses fundamental issues of our present-day by shedding light on the array of interpretations currently adopted by medieval music ensembles, thereby providing them with a new understanding of these songs and the voicing of the female discourses represented in them. |
