This article examines the progressive secularization of vanity in the 17th and 18th centuries. Once removed from its theocentric origins, vanity will denote less the vacuity and transience of earthly life and will refer increasingly to socially indecorous behavior that is firmly anchored in the temporal. This shift from the sa-cred to the saeculum will also cause a shift in the way we imagine vanity ’s connoted movements. Once the transient and fleeting, vanity in the 18th century will come to designate the unpliable and the rigid.

Cet article propose de considérer la laïcisation progressive de la vanité aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Une fois sortie du champ théocentrique, la vanité dénotera moins la vacuité et la brièveté de la vie terrestre qu ’une une malséance sociale qui va à l ’encontre des mœurs du temps et qui s ’inscrit donc dans le temporel. Ce glissement du sacré au saeculum entrainera aussi un changement par rapport au mouvement qu ’elle connote. Si jadis, la vanité était le passager et le fugace, elle désignera désor-mais l ’impliable et le rigide.
