Exemples d’exploration de la matérialité des plantes dans les récits de Jean-Baptiste Labat (XVIIe - XVIIIe siècle)
No full textInternational audienceCet article apporte un nouveau regard sur l’écriture de l’histoire naturelle, culturelle, matérielle et visuelle des objets végétaux à l’époque moderne dans le cadre du « Nouveau Monde ». Pour cela, nous puisons nos exemples dans les publications des journaux des voyages aux Caraïbes écrits par Jean-Baptiste Labat entre le XVIIe et le XVIIIe siècle en analysant le discours produit par le colon européen sur de tels objets. Nous étudions ainsi les plantes d’une part, traces souvent imperceptibles, témoins muets de l’histoire, et les personnes, d’autre part, exécutant les tâches difficiles des plantations ; autant d’indices des usages et des pratiques des sociétés autochtones et des esclaves amenés par les colons européens sur des objets « non occidentaux »
Il cibo in Sicilia nel XVIII secolo attraverso gli appunti gastronomici di Jean-Baptiste Labat e di altri travel writers
No full textJean-Baptiste Labat, monaco domenicano francese, può considerarsi un precursore dei viaggiatori del Grand Tour. Negli ultimi anni della sua vita raccolse i suoi ricordi di viaggio italiani nell’opera, mai tradotta, Le Voyage en Italie. Reportage dai luoghi visitati, essa arricchisce la vasta letteratura odeporica di un aspetto spesso trascurato dai viaggiatori stranieri: il cibo. Labat descrive con minuzia le pietanze assaggiate in Italy invitando a riflettere sul patrimonio culturale dei popoli attraverso il racconto delle loro abitudini alimentari e dei loro sistemi economici. Sono le pagine di un viaggiatore esperto, in cui gusto del sapere e del mangiare si miscelano, completandosi, e dove il cibo non è solo un elemento rivelatore di cultura, ma un elemento fondante dei rapporti sociali.Jean-Baptiste Labat, French Dominican monk, can be considered a precursor of the Grand Tour. In the last years of his life, he collected his Italian travel memories in the book, never translated, Le Voyage en Italie. It is a reportage of the places he visited, which enriches the odeporic literature with an aspect often neglected by foreign travellers: food. Labat describes meticulously the dishes enjoyed in Italy inviting to reflect on the cultural heritage of peoples through the story of their eating habits, and of their economic systems. It’s pages from an expert traveller, where the taste of knowing and eating are mixed, complementing each other, and where food is not only revealing element of culture, but the element of social relationships as well

No full textBy David Gentilcore Jean-Baptiste Labat, Voyages du P. Labat de l’ordre des FF. Precheurs, en Espagne et en Italie (Paris: Jean-Baptiste Delespine, 1730) © Bibliothèque nationale de France When the French Dominican Jean-Baptiste Labat was captured by the Spanish in the 1690s, and offered water to drink aboard ship, he informed the chaplain that ‘only invalids and chickens drink water in my country’ (Labat 1722).

Franceses y españoles en el Cádiz de 1700 a través de Voyages du P. Labat des FF. Prescheurs en Espagne et en Italie
Get PDFOur point of departure shall be the volume in which Jean-Baptiste Labat
(1663-1738) devotes to his stay in Spain in Voyages du P. Labat des FF. Prescheurs
en Espagne et en Italie (1730a). In this light, our paper shall explore some biographical, sociohistorical and literary clues in order to understand the author’s relationship with Spain as well as the representation of the relationships between Spanish and French communities in his account. With a focus on what unites rather than on what separates both communities, our purpose is to highlight the elements interfering with the apparently stable opposition between «We» and
«They» in Labat’s discourse.En partant du volume que Jean-Baptiste Labat (1663-1738) consacre à son
séjour en Espagne dans Voyages du P. Labat des FF. Prescheurs en Espagne et en
Italie (1730a), cette étude propose l’exploration de quelques pistes biographiques,
socio-historiques et littéraires pour comprendre le rapport de l’auteur à l’Espagne
ainsi que la représentation des relations franco-espagnoles découlant de son récit.
En nous centrant sur ce qui unit plutôt que sur ce qui sépare les Français et les
Espagnols, il s’agira de faire ressortir les éléments qui interfèrent dans le dispositif
apparemment stable opposant le «Nous» au «Eux» dans le discours de Labat.A partir del volumen que Jean-Baptiste Labat (1663-1738) dedica a su estancia en España en sus Voyages du P. Labat des FF. Prescheurs en Espagne et en
Italie (1730a), en este trabajo exploraremos algunas pistas biográficas, históricas y
literarias para comprender la relación del autor con España, así como la representación de las relaciones franco-españolas que se desprende de su relato. Centrándonos sobre todo en lo que une más que en lo que separa a franceses y españoles,
nuestro objetivo será poner de relieve los elementos que interfieren en el dispositivo aparentemente estable que opone el «Nosotros» al «Ellos» en el discurso de
