O riso e o grotesco nos fabliaux eróticos dos séculos XIII e XIV

Abstract

This study falls within the scope of Medieval Studies, in order to analyze the defines of carnival laughter and grotesque realism in erotic fabliaux the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and promote recovery of these medieval comic works that have long been out of reach contemporary readership. Because it is a literature largely anonymous part, we will build on the notes provided by the translator Nora Scott (1995), and researcher Hilary Franco Junior (1998). The work is divided into three parts, with the first approach the fabliau gender, in the second chapter will focus on the carnival laughing and grotesque realism (Bakhtin, 2013), and finally, we present the analysis of two anonymous fabliaux, titled “The four wish Saint Martin”, The repressed desire” and “Squirrel” taken from the book “Little Fables Medieval: fabliaux the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries”, translation Scott (1995).
