| Summary: | This article proposes to study the genre of the medieval novella through the lens of intersectionality. This notion, from the fields of law and social sciences, aims to highlight the interconnected nature of relations of domination. We mobilize it as an interpretive tool for the study of novella III, 10 of the Decameron. The analysis of the text highlights the power relations that are established between the two protagonists of the novella, the hermit Rustico and the young and naive Alibech. These relationships are built on the intersection of several socio-cultural variables and evolve throughout the story. The reactions of a fictional audience - the characters of the Decameron’s framework narrative - to the story told and the use of a comic and satirical device by the author allow us to formulate some hypotheses about the structural relations of domination at the time of the work’s creation. |
