| Summary: | The term «jongleur» is currently
employed in Quebequois French with reference to
the shaman‐healer of the Amerindians. The
authors explore the history of the peculiar
conflation between a typical medieval character
and the doctor of the «savages», through the
texts and images that first provided its
description between the XVI and XVIII Centuries.
Their aim is to show how the representations of
this character result from the encounter of
different pre‐existing iconographic traditions
and, especially, how they express the political
and religious conflicts raging in Europe at the
time. |
