Des gestes aux rythmes, nouvelles approches des formes rituelles médiévales

Abstract

Les rythmes au Moyen Âge de Jean-Claude Schmitt are amongst these books that can open a historiographical field, demonstrating the diachronical examination of an object which as intangible as the notion of joint rhythm of the body, of the world, and of time. This Review replaces the book in the field of studies on rhythm, underligning the use of the method of anthropological history.
