Résumé
"Inter duos scopulos". Hypothesis on the place of sexuality in the llth century models the representation of the world What is the place of sexuality in the llth century models of the representation of the world? The aim of this paper is to identify the organizing paradigms of each model in order to understand its internal functioning and then to point up the contradictions between the different models and the conflicts to which they gave rise. Two principal models emerge. One is organized on the opposition "divinity" vs "humanity" and in this model only chastity is compatible with the divine mode. In the second model, organized on the opposition of good vs evil, it is possible to distinguish between positive sexuality, such as marriage, and evil sexuality such as fornication. The same model is used by very diverse authors, and the opposition between orthodoxy and heresy does not coincide with the use of one or another of these models.
