RHEDESIUM - A Pilgrimage Through The Mysteries of the Two Rennes!

[ #conférence, #occitanie, #Histoire, #paratge, #CroisadeAlbigeoise]

This Saturday, August 05, 2023, at 21:00, the medieval historian Charles Peytavie, member and former president of the Société d'Etudes Scientifiques de l'Aude and the poet Franc Bardou offer you as part of the Summer Encounters of the Château de Serres, at the gates of Corbières, between Couiza and Arques, a two-voice conference

 

Titled:

Back to the homeland. Two voice conference on a medieval ideal in the time of the troubadours and the Albigois Crusade.

 

the two speakers will discuss together about the meanings to give this value celebrated in their poems by the troubadours and trobairitz of the XII and XIII centuries which became an ideal to defend during the events of the Albigoise Crusade between 1209 and 1229. They will also ask about the contemporary uses of this notion of paratge in the Occitan cultural universe. Wouldn't it have become a suitcase word in which everyone places their own depictions of ancient and contemporary Occitania?

This conference will also and above all be an opportunity to hear the words of the poets who have sung Paratge from the Middle Ages until today in this magnificent screen which is the outdoor theatre of the Château de Serres created by Michele and Jean Deschamps.

Outdoor theater at the Castle of Serres, at 9 pm (reception from 8:15 pm)

 

Free to participate.

Charles Peytavie, medieval historian, specialist in #catharism and the Albigois Crusade

Franc Bardou, Occitan writer and poet, member of the Occitana Academy and the Academy of Floral Games in Toulouse.
