Lire la poésie de Pétrarque sous l'angle de la métamorphose est en soi une approche originale, d’autant plus que la métamorphose s'y présente sous de multiples formes : élément narratif explicite, transformation implicite par la métaphore, allusion à des mythes ovidiens, mutatio extérieure et intérieure des personnages de la fabula lyrique autobiographique, transformation des textes et de la poétique de l'auteur au fil du passage du temps, lui-même métamorphosant. Cette thèse aborde la poétique de Pétrarque en-dehors des sentiers battus, en étudiant d'abord la tradition médiévale des commentaires allégoriques des trois mythes ovidiens, Daphné, Méduse, Narcisse, qui sont fondamentaux dans les Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, afin de déterminer ensuite les points de contact ou de divergence avec les poésies du livre. C’est également par une démarche nouvelle que ces trois mythes principaux, auxquels s'ajoutent des fables secondaires, sont appréhendés d’après la chronologie réelle de l'écriture et ses interférences avec la construction progressive du livre-canzoniere. La thématique métamorphique d’ascendance ovidienne est ainsi confrontée à la problématique de la mutatio animi augustinienne. Enfin, la double présence des mythes métamorphiques et de la métamorphose comme réécriture, autobiographique ou métapoétique, est élargie aux Triomphes et à la poésie latine (Epystole, Africa, Bucolicum Carmen), jamais étudiés dans cette perspective. / Reading Petrarch's poetry from the angle of metamorphosis is in itself an original approach, all the more since metamorphosis takes there many different forms : a narrative explicit component, implicit transformation by metaphor, allusion to ovidian myths, external and internal mutatio of the characters of the lyric and autobiographical fabula, transformation of the texts and the author's poetics with the passing of time, which has itself a metamorphosing action. This thesis approaches Petrarch's poetics geting off the beaten paths, by studying first the medieval tradition of allegorical commentaries, particularly those concerning three ovidian myths, Daphne, Medusa, Narcissus, which are fundamental in the Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, with the purpose to determine then common features and divergences with the poems of the book. These three main myths, completed by secondary fables, are also studied by means of a new method, that is according to the chronology of writing and its implications with the progressive construction of the canzoniere. The metamorphic theme, of ovidian origin, is in this way confronted to the problematic of the augustinian mutatio animi. Lastly, the double presence of metamorphic myths and of metamorphosis as rewriting, autobiographical or metapoetical, is extended to the Triumphs and to latin poetry (Epystole, Africa, Bucolicum Carmen), never analysed from that viewpoint.

This study explores the relationship between poetry and politics in Books 1 and 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Vergil had refashioned the concept of the golden age to better resonate with Roman values, and Ovid in turn responds to Vergil by making his own golden age free from law, seafaring, and warfare (Met. 1.89-112). Ovid’s golden age clearly foils his ‘praise’ of Augustus in Book 15 (819-70), and thus challenges Vergil’s innovations. Ovid closely connects his demiurge (opifex, 1.79), who created the conditions necessary for the existence of the golden age, to himself (15.871-9); they together display the potency of poetic power. Poesis is different than the power of empire, which is inherently destructive: Jupiter terminates the golden age (1.113), and Augustus’ accomplishments are only ostensibly ‘peaceful’ (15.823, 833). Ovid suggests that the power of poesis remains beyond the destructive reach of Augustus, since Rome’s power is limited to the post-golden, chaotic world, and that poesis enjoys the status of eternality which Rome and Augustus claimed to possess themselves.

This study considers the role of tragedy in Ovid’s Metamorphoses as demonstrated in four different episodes, those of Cadmus, Hercules, Hippolytus, and Medea. I have identified two main themes that the episodes share, namely, generic tension, particularly between epic and tragedy as emphasized by intertextual allusion to Virgil’s Aeneid, and the use of apotheosis as a means of not only transforming the character in question, but also signalling a generic shift, more appropriate for Augustan Rome. However, Ovid’s treatment of tragedy varies dramatically from one narrative to the next. Cadmus’ civic foundation is plagued with tragic themes and his apotheosis occurs only by later substitution. Hercules and Hippolytus achieve relatively standard deifications by pushing past the boundaries of their tragedies, but their refashioned selves are called into question. And the apparent apotheosis of Medea is even less straightforward, as she appears forever preserved in tragedy through meta-literary self-consciousness.

Dans une perspective toute à la fois poétique, rhétorique et juridique, ainsi que générique et intertextuelle, cette étude propose une réflexion sur la mémoire et la parole de l’héroïne ovidienne. Une lettre simple (Médée, Héroïde XII) et une lettre double (Acontius et Cydippe, Héroïdes XX-XXI) sont au cœur de notre recherche. Médée et Cydippe allient le souvenir de l’instant à la parole intime et nous invitent à illustrer la représentation de la femme qui surgit au sein de l’art poétique du pathos, puis à affirmer la légitimation de son statut juridique dans une vraisemblance historique, et à apercevoir, dans un dernier temps, son émancipation, conquise dans une diversité dialogique et tensionnelle des genres et des textes. Les interférences textuelles avec les modèles fondateurs sont bien répertoriées, dans le cadre d’une allusion propre à faire apparaître une réécriture métaphorique de la réflexivité, dans un entrecroisement des instants que favorise particulièrement la figure d’Ariane catullienne (Carmen LXIV). Menée dans cet esprit, l’étude de la réminiscence littéraire est effectuée dans un travail des mots et des notions, pour la recherche d’une véritable mimésis poétique. Cette lecture aboutit à dégager la valeur autoréflexive de l’image du texte : mémoire ingénieuse et parole polysémique participent à un jeu savant où la figure féminine et la poiésis composée sont, à vrai dire, inséparables. Là réside encore l’originalité ovidienne : entre le souvenir de l’écrit et le futur de la lecture se situe la parole mnémonique, défense et message ultime de la femme ovidienne, ainsi récompensée. / In a poetic, rhetorical and juridical perspective, as well as a generic and an intertextual one, this study proposes a reflexion on the ovidian heroine’s memory and speech. A single letter (Medea, Heroine XII) and a double letter (Acontius and Cydippe, Heroines XX-XXI) are at the heart of our research. Combining the memory of the instant with intimate speech, Medea and Cydippe extend an invitation to illustrate the representation of women that emerges from the poetic art of pathos, to affirm the legitimization of her juridical status in a historical plausibility, and to perceive, finally, her emancipation, gained in a dialogical and tensional diversity of genres and texts. The textual interferences with the founder models are well listed in the framework of an allusion that brings out a metaphorical rewriting of reflexivity, in an intersection of moments that particularly privileges the Catullian figure of Ariadne (Carmen LXIV). Carried out in this spirit, the study of literary reminiscence is completed in a work of words and notions for the research of a genuine poetic mimesis. This interpretation leads to highlight the autoreflexive value of the textual image: ingenious memory and polysemous speech participate in a learned play in which the feminine figure and the composed poiesis are, actually, inseparable. Therein can also be found Ovid’s originality: between the written memory and the future reading is set the mnemonic speech, defence and the ultimate message of the ovidian woman, thus rewarded.
