Adam, Véronique, "La littérature alchimique (1550-1715): écriture et savoir à la marge?", Studies in Book Culture, 6/1 [=Diffuser la science en marge : autorité, savoir et publication, XVIe-XIXe siècle, Marie-Claude Felton (dir.)] (2014), (versió electrònica).
- Resum
- Alchemical literature from the end of the 16th century until the beginning of the 18th century featured a tension between a subtle politically and socially-motivated marginalisation and an intentional marginalization induced by the authors' writing choices and by their desire for anonymity. The literature took advantage of this marginalisation to establish its own authorities either by validating them according to institutionalized models, or by giving them the appearance of being acceptable and legitimate, and by offering them a versatility that would allow them to include the other sciences. The persona of the author was presented as a conveyor of knowledge and he attributed to the book in which the legitimate but fabulous genesis of his science is exposed in particular, a symbolic function that enabled reading into its materiality the mark of appropriateness between the appearance of alchemical discourse and the contents that it revealed.
