Description

En un siècle marqué par d’incessantes querelles théologiques et d’innombrables conflits armés, auxquels s’ajoutent des tensions entre l’Église, l’État et le parti des « Philosophes », les correspondances constituent un lieu privilégié pour observer les mécanismes de surveillance. De fait, parmi les lettré·es du dix-huitième siècle, la communication épistolaire s’inscrit au cœur de la vie quotidienne. Familière avec cette surveillance, l’élite des Lumières s’amuse d’ailleurs souvent des missives décachetées, quand elle ne se moque pas directement des indiscrets, les enjoignant même à poursuivre leur lecture. Documents à la fois publics et privés, littéralement situées au carrefour de toutes les formes d’activités, ces lettres sont parfois détruites, perdues ou oubliées. Alors que certaines demeurent à jamais scellées ou muettes, d’autres font partie du patrimoine littéraire européen. Que ce soit dans des lettres amicales, des correspondances diplomatiques ou dans des rapports de police, on dissimule et (se) surveille. Aussi les huit articles qui composent ce volume proposent-ils une traversée épistolaire du dix-huitième siècle européen en s’intéressant à des personnages oubliés ou célèbres, voire à des inconnus, qui tous ont dû écrire leurs correspondances en surveillant ou en se sachant épiés. -- In a century marked by innumerable armed conflicts and incessant theological quarrels, including tensions between the Church, the State and the Philosophes, literary correspondence provides a privileged site via which to examine the mechanisms of surveillance. Epistolary communication was at the heart of daily life among the eighteenth-century literati. Familiar with methods of surveillance, the Enlightenment elite often amused themselves by sending unsealed missives, or else directly mocked those with prying eyes, even urging them to continue reading. Both public and private documents, located at the crossroads of all forms of activity, these letters have at times been destroyed, lost or forgotten. While some remain forever sealed or silenced, others form part of Europe's literary heritage. Whether in letters between friends, diplomatic correspondence or police reports, one conceals and surveils oneself. The eight articles that constitute this volume offer an epistolary journey through eighteenth-century Europe by focusing on forgotten or famous people, even unknowns, all of whom must have written their correspondence while watching or knowing that they were being watched.
