Réflexion liminaire sur la mémoire orale du paysage. - Au cours du temps, les sociétés successives ont attribué à certains lieux, en accord avec les modèles culturels de référence et les différents modes de vie et d'organisation de l'espace, une valeur symbolique spécifique, leurs octroyant une force émotive, une "energheia" toute particulière capables de produire des images mentales pouvant facilement participer au processus de mémorisation. La mémoire est aussi prédisposée à se souvenir d'un passé glorieux, comme à ne pas laisser tomber dans l'oubli certains lieux, "topoi" significatif, associés à une tradition liée à la conscience individuelle ou collective. Cet article a pour objectif de mettre en lumière quelques fragments de la mémoire orale des communautés de la Marsica dans les Abruzzes, Italie, et de jeter les bases d'une réflexion sur le rôle majeur tenu par les narrations orales dans l'évocation des paysages.
A reflection on oral memory and landscape: introductory notes. - Over the course of time, societies have attributed a symbolic value to certain places according to their own cultural references and different lifestyles. These places become endowed with such emotional strength and special "energheia" that in turn they produce mental images which are easily retained in the memorization process. The memory may thus allow one to remember a glorious past as well as not to forget special places, so called meaningful "topoi", which evoke traditions deeply rooted in individual and collective consciousnesses. The aim of this essay is to shed some light on the oral traditions and community memory of villages located in the Marsica territory of Abruzzi (Italy). In addition, we aim to lay the foundations for a reflection on the key role that oral narrative production may have in evoking traces of landscape.

Abstract
A reflection on oral memory and landscape: introductory notes. - Over the course of time, societies have attributed a symbolic value to certain places according to their own cultural references and different lifestyles. These places become endowed with such emotional strength and special "energheia" that in turn they produce mental images which are easily retained in the memorization process. The memory may thus allow one to remember a glorious past as well as not to forget special places, so called meaningful "topoi", which evoke traditions deeply rooted in individual and collective consciousnesses. The aim of this essay is to shed some light on the oral traditions and community memory of villages located in the Marsica territory of Abruzzi (Italy). In addition, we aim to lay the foundations for a reflection on the key role that oral narrative production may have in evoking traces of landscape.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
