Lecture "Phylomythologie, ou comment raconter la préhistoire des mythes ?"
by Julien d'Huy
Les mythes et les discours ne se fossilisent pas. Ils se transmettent cependant dans le temps, certains durant de très longues périodes, et des outils statistiques permettent désormais d’en reconstruire l’histoire. Nous expliquerons comment ces méthodes, appliquées à de grands ensembles de mythes ou de mythologies, rendent possible d’en situer l’origine, l’évolution et les routes de diffusion. Nous montrerons en particulier comment l’approche phylogénétique permet d’estimer la forme la plus probable de certains protorécits, puis nous mettrons ces résultats en relation avec des témoignages rupestres néolithiques (au Sahara) et paléolithiques (en Europe) pour tenter d’en éclairer le sens.
