Abstract EN:
La creation litteraire s'articule au 17e siecle autour de la presence de la voix humaine. Quatre domaines d'application permettent de cerner le probleme : l'imaginaire scientifique de la phonation, les techniques et les ideologies de la prononciation, le rapport theologique du verbe et de l'inspiration poetique, la liturgie monarchique. La conclusion determine que le 17e siecle reste une culture orale ou l'imprime joue un role marginal de reference.
Abstract FR:
In this thesis it is argued that literary creation, in the 17th century, resolves around the presence of the human voice. Four areas are studied in succession : voice production in scientific treatises, techniques of pronunciation and their related ideologies, the rapports between the divine word and poetic inspiration, monarchical liturgies. The conclusion puts forward that 17th century french literature remains massively grounded in orality and that the function of the printed word is a marginal one.
