Retour sur la « communauté imaginée » d'Anderson.

Abstract

In the foregoing article Françoise Lavocat explains the spate of witchcraft trials at the end of the sixteenth century as resulting from the obliteration of the borders of fiction that occurred in several fields of knowledge, but particularly in the then new science of demonology. She argues that the legal fiction of witchcraft, especially in Jean Bodin, rests on a denial of literary fiction, chiefly owing to the disappearance of the allegorical framework of interpretation at the end of the Renaissance.
