ALLEGORIES OF A POETIC WAR: FIGURES OF AUTHORITY IN 17TH CENTURY FRANCE

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

In the 17th century France, the understanding that “quarrels” are the privileged mechanism for the institution of authority gains ground. Writings proposing gallant disputes, which praised verbal violence as opposed to the horrors of war, are vastly disseminated, giving birth to a specific genre. This article focuses on the analysis of the relations between authority and controversy formed by this genre based on the study of Antoine Furetière’s Nouvelle Allégorique (1658)FURETIÈRE, Antoine. Nouvelle allégorique ou histoire des derniers troubles arrivez au royaume d’eloquence. Paris: Pierre Lamy, 1658., a book that allegorizes the scholarly hostilities of its time with the main goal of archiving the very act of quarreling.

Keywords
authority; controversy; allegory; memory; Antoine Furetière
