ADEFFI 2016 – 18ème Colloque Annuel
OBÉISSANCE
University College Cork (14-15-16 Octobre 2016)
Intervenant principal: M. Yves Ansel
Pour son 18ème colloque, l’ADEFFI a retenu cette année le thème ‘Obéissance’.
L’histoire sociale du mariage s’est fortement éloignée depuis quelques décennies de la seule problématique démographique de la mesure de la nuptialité (âge au mariage, célibat définitif) et de ses facteurs explicatifs, enjeux qui ont concentré l’attention des historiens lors des premières décennies de développement de la démographie historique.

Antiquité – époque contemporaine
Coordination : Ulrike Krampl (Tours), Dominique Picco (Bordeaux-Montaigne), Marianne Thivend (Lyon 2)
De Pénélope attendant Ulysse durant vingt années, à Marthe, femme de soldat qui succombe à l’infidélité dans le Diable au Corps de Raymond Radiguet, les femmes confrontées à l’absence de leur conjoint constituent une figure littéraire récurrente. Entre l’épouse vertueuse érigée en modèle et la femme adultère source de scandale, il existe bien des nuances qui incitent à dépasser cette approche strictement sentimentale, celle de la « vertu des femmes de marins ».
