Abstract
In this second part of the lecture, the aim is to chronologically trace the history of power through the prism of the languages of love. In the 11th-12th centuries, political friendship was reformulated in a more affective way. Occitan lyricism is perhaps the textual laboratory of this feudal hold, where loving learns to serve, and domination is enchanted by honorable dependence. Focusing in particular on the first formulations of troubadour art (notably the cansos of Guillaume IX of Aquitaine), we seek to redefine the political consistency of this feudal society, between rivalry, subjectivity and subjection.
