Melanie Stralla, « Ein deutsch-provenzalisches „Familienfest“? », Cahiers d’études germaniques, ID : 10.4000/ceg.16642
The paper investigates a communication sent to Frédéric Mistral by the German provençalists on the occasion of his silver wedding anniversary in 1901. The correspondence only seems to convey congratulations: the Germans try mainly to stabilise their position within the Felibrige organisation. Their intentions become clear once we look closer at the content of the text as well as how the text is presented. It hands down old traditions of epistolary communication just as it is made to be published. Simultaneously, the text develops an image of Mistral’s marriage that rests on German attributions rather than facts.
