Sacrum and Profanum in Yonec of Marie de France (12th century)
Languages of publication
Abstracts
In the Breton lais, we encounter a brilliant marriage of the Celtic and Christian « marvel » (merveilleux), which is revealed on various semiotic levels. The zones of sacrum and profanum interpenetrate and provoke the reader’s afterthoughts with abundant and profound imagery. In Yonec by Marie de France, at the moment when the coming from Autre Monde protagonist is receiving the Eucharist, he con-stitutes one body with his beloved. In this paper, I attempt to uncover a spiritual meaning/message underlying the text, characters-symbols. The clue to this analysis is the idea of transition: from one status to another, from one figure to another, or from one meaning to another.
