Presentation
Traditionally, the historian usually considers literature as a source. How does a Lope de Vega’s comedy help us to understand the Spanish period of the Golden Age? This perspective really contributes to an approach between the literature specialists and the historians: The literature specialists do research into the author, his origin, his social trajectory, his possible political role, eventually about the work, his work flow and reception, etc. The literary studies try to make an effort to provide context to the literary work in the history of the language, the shape and literary traditions, as well as the financial, social and cultural history of literature creation. These methodological practices imply a deep convergence of the meaning of literature and its place in the world: it is though that literature is a powerful voice focus on the whole society.
Nevertheless, the matter of the relation between literature and history generally lead to a dead-end: on the one hand, literature seems to be out of time which would be valued and history is accused of contextualizing the literary texts until reducing not taking them into account. On the other hand, there is a strained relation between the literary texts which tend to literariness and the texts made by the historians which tend to literalness. Many historians have got difficulties to deal with literature and they prefer to reject the investigation in the literary field from their research. In spite of this, the literary studies are fed on the historic research and vice versa, the sciences on history have recently renewed their approach towards the literature, without reductionism. The aim of the workshop is precisely to explore the lines of dialogue between history and literature.
