Research paths

Why did bilingual occitan intellectuals used and still use the occitan language for verse or prose writing ?

The countryside in the south of France and the occitan language are often major protagonists in the books of occitan writers. Because of dominant norms and an acute consciousness of the fragility of human civilizations, the use of the occitan language reveals strong tensions : self-deprecation vs overvaluation of self, resignation vs rebellion, estrangement vs emancipation…

Occitan writers who belonged to an oral civilization like many authors all over the world were orphans of a medieval history and a radiant culture they reclaimed. Writers of less common languages are standing on a talvèra (a headland), a concept introduced in the occitan literature in the seventies by the poet and novelist Joan Bodon (Jean Bodou). Their works reveal a specific relationship to the world.
