Summary: | Theatre and songs were among the means by which new ideas were diffused. They accompanied and supported pastoral action, which would lead to the conversion of a city. As vehicles of practice, they gave rise, of course, to a performative act anchored in communal space, but above all they testified to an act of writing with a pastoral origin and, in their form, were media that were known and used by medieval Christianity. However, in the emerging Reformation, the preacher himself was in the process of being defined. As such, theatre and song, as a space of writing, contributed to the goals of the Reformation, namely to dismantle one religious culture and to put into place a new one constructed upon an authority figure, the preacher, who would dispense the Eucharist and the Word of God. Théâtre et chansons font partie des moyens de diffusion des idées nouvelles. Ils accompagnent et soutiennent l'action pastorale qui mène à la conversion d'une ville. Porteurs de pratiques, ils débouchent certes sur un geste de performance s'ancrant dans l'espace communautaire, mais témoignent avant tout d'un acte d'écriture d'origine pastorale et sont dans leur forme des médias connus et usités de la chrétienté médiévale. Or, dans cette Réforme en devenir, le prédicant se trouve lui-même en voie de définition. Dès lors, thé\u00E2tre et chansons, comme lieu d'écriture, rentreraient dans les enjeux de la Réforme, ceux de se défaire d'une culture religieuse et d'en mettre en place une nouvelle, construite sur une figure d'autorité, le prédicant, dispensateur de la cène et de la Parole de Dieu. |
