520 _aThe medieval, epic or romance model often serves as a foil to modern writers who claim to present a less idealized view of conflict, focusing on the masses in their sometimes mundane daily lives, rather than on the heroic individual. In his Poétique du récit de guerre, Jean Kaempfer shows how the modern war narrative is constructed in opposition to older battle narratives, but the model that it envisions is above all that of the ancient war narrative in the style of Julius Caesar. By creating a dialog between images, narratives, and textual devices from ancient, medieval, and modern sources, this article aims to suggest ways of integrating medieval narratives from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries into a general poetics of war. This will be considered through a series of tensions (between the singular and collective, order and disorder, the speakable and unspeakable, the commonplace and invention), which are present in each era, rather than as a movement from one type of writing to another. We therefore offer the hypothesis of a “continuous” or “collective” writing of war, with an intertextual and memorial circulation of discourses and themes, leading to a sort of “war of narratives,” but also drawing on realia that are constantly being reactivated.
