TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2023.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The collections of popular songs that started to be published in Europe in the 1760s belong to a context of rebellion against classical or neoclassical aesthetics and vindication of national identities. However, they also support a scientific and anthropological reflexion. Far from being seen purely aesthetically, the songs published are seen as documents serving the writing of a history of the peoples of Europe. Hugh Blair, Macpherson’s commentator, and Johann Gottfried von Herder, in particular, develop a philosophy of history and a theory of language putting forward the essentially poetic and musical dimensions of the language of the origins. Their position is the basis or European romantic thinking about popular song.
