| description | In the cansos of the troubadours, joi is sung everywhere, but nowhere is it defined. How can its intensity be captured in a narrow language? To express joi, one needs a breath, a tone, a voice. In light of seminal works on the medieval voice as “the place of an absence, which, in it, becomes a presence” (P. Zumthor), we suggest to insert the emblem of Occitan lyricism in a poetics of the voice. The aim is to show that, far from being reduced to a “cliché”, joi is also, sometimes a percept at the origin of the song, sometimes an affect that accompanies the song in its eternal movements ; in any case, joi engages a subjectivity, closely correlated to the spontaneous, sensitive and performative mode of expression that is the voice. From then on, the troubadours’ poetry is a space of expression for joyful voices. |
