The pieces examined here are generally thought to have been composed by native French speakers but made to look and sound Occitan through phonological coloring. Although this phenomenon—which makes French pieces look more like Occitan rather than Occitan pieces look more like French—would seem to work against the francophone trend toward assimilation, it occurs primarily in a lower register. Thus, while the prestigious genre of the Occitan canso or grand chant came to look increasingly French, low-register forms such as the dance song and pastourelle came to look increasingly Occitan. While the high-register cansos of the troubadours have effectively been transformed into French texts, songs of a lower register are passed off as Occitan, so that French is associated with the most refined cultural productions and Occitan with those that are rustic and unsophisticated. The latter repertoire, faux-archaic Occitanizing song, served as a factitious mirage of origins.","PeriodicalId":127684,"journal":{"name":"Stolen Song","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116284967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows that Richard de Fournival maintains his predecessors' association of troubadour lyric with the avian but decouples it from its association with songbirds. In the Bestiaire, the troubadours are quoted in the passage on the hoopoe—a bird not thought of as a songster in medieval typologies. This decoupling of the bond between troubadour and avian song is indicative of a broader delyricization of Occitan lyric in the Bestiaire. If, as the previous three chapters demonstrate, troubadour song was elsewhere hyperlyricized—treated as a sonic event rather than a semantic one—in the Bestiaire, the troubadours are instead inserted into a writerly genealogy, and their poetry transformed into prose.","PeriodicalId":127684,"journal":{"name":"Stolen Song","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123060573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Just like Jean Renart's Roman de la Rose, the Violette emphasizes the border to the east of Capetian France (the border with the Empire) rather than the border to the south (with Occitania). This suggests a greater interest on the part of thirteenth-century francophone writers in the Battle of Bouvines than in the Albigensian Crusade. In the Violette, however, the Holy Roman Empire has not been conquered by the “soft power” of francophone artistic traditions. Instead, it is marked as a dangerous space—a valence conveyed in part through the territory's association with hunting birds, especially the eagle, in recognition of the most commonly deployed imperial symbol. The chapter then documents a critical blind spot in Violette criticism: the saturation of imperial symbolism and geography within the romance. It then turns to the text's quotation of troubadour song, which is also placed within an avian typology. If the Empire is characterized mainly by hunting birds, Occitan song is, by contrast, associated with songbirds. Unlike in Jean Renart's Rose, where many grands chants foregrounded birdsong thematically, here this association between human song and birdsong is unique to the Occitan insertions within the romance.","PeriodicalId":127684,"journal":{"name":"Stolen Song","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129578230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
