| Summary: | The article revisits the poetic corpus of women troubadours by examining their position as authors, in the poems and in their memory. The reception of this very thin corpus is delicate. It is conditioned by diverse critical positions, in which the question of gender is central. Philology, which makes visible or erases the poetic figures of the past, plays a strategic role here. From a situated perspective, the article proposes to counter the “Matilda effect” which literary women of history do not escape, by an “Alamanda effect”, striving to take seriously the existence of an authorial mixity within the courtly poetic sphere. The corpus then allows us to hear in the background alternative, minority voices in the sense that Rony Klein, after Walter Benjamin, understands it: through the lyrical voice/way, women, in love, were real interlocutors, in the important debate on the affective experience that Occitan poetry has bequeathed to us. Taking them into account allows us to think differently about the definition of love that has been invented courtly. |
