Rétro-anticipation. Le voyage dans le temps était-il pensable au Quattrocento ?

Abstract

Le voyage dans le temps l'un des thèmes majeurs abordés dans le roman de Patrick Schmoll, Là-bas sont les dragons. Sa possibilité théorique est l'objet de conversations entre les personnages de Tilmann et Nicolas de Cues, qui l'envisagent dans les cadres de pensée qui sont les leurs au XVe siècle. Ce traitement du thème du temps amène le lecteur à se poser une question intéressante dans l’ordre de l’histoire des idées : de tels échanges entre les personnages sont-ils plausibles ? L’idée du voyage dans le temps, qui nous est familière, imprégnés que nous sommes de littérature et de filmographie de science-fiction, était-elle seulement concevable à la fin du Moyen-âge, compte tenu des conceptions scientifiques, cosmogoniques et théologiques, et plus profondément des cadres de pensée de l’époque ? Pour répondre à cette question, ce chapitre explore l’évolution des conceptions du temps à l’orée de la Renaissance, héritées de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine et de la scolastique médiévale.

Time travel is one of the major themes addressed in Patrick Schmoll's novel, Là-bas sont les dragons (There Be Dragons). Its theoretical possibility is the subject of conversations between the characters Tilmann and Nicolas de Cues, who consider it within the frames of thought that were theirs in the 15th century. This treatment of the theme of time leads the reader to ask an interesting question in terms of the history of ideas: are such exchanges between characters plausible? Was the idea of time travel, which is familiar to us, steeped as we are in science fiction literature and filmography, even conceivable at the end of the Middle Ages, given the scientific, cosmogonic and theological conceptions, and more profoundly, the frames of thought of the time? To answer this question, this chapter explores the evolution of conceptions of time at the dawn of the Renaissance, inherited from Greco-Roman antiquity and medieval scholasticism.
