Summary

Cet ouvrage entend dèmontrer qu'une solide culture de l'ècriture de l'histoire existait dans la Syrie du 2e/8e siécle, et propose de nouvelles approches mèthodologiques afin d'offrir un accés vers cette historiographie perdue, tiraillèe entre mèmoire et oubli. En ètudiant la fabrique des hèros omeyyades ou des mythes d'origines abbassides, cette ètude s'efforce de mettre au jour les significations successives donnèes á l'histoire syrienne, et d'identifier les diffèrentes strates d'ècritures et de rèècritures de l'histoire au cours des premiers siécles de l'islam. L'ensemble de ces èlèments conduit á proposer une histoire du sens de l'espace syrien, articulèe autour de la thèmatique du pouvoir, qui donne une profonde cohèrence á la pèriode, par-delá la cèsure dynastique de 132/750.This book intends to demonstrate that a robust culture of historical writing existed in 2nd/8th century Syria, and to offer new methodological approaches to access this now lost history, torn between memory and oblivion. By studying the making of Umayyad heroes or Abbasid origins-myths, this study aims to reveal the successive meanings granted to Syrian history, and to identify the various layers of historical writing and rewriting during the first centuries of Islam. Taken together, these elements make possible a history of the meaning of the very space of Syria, articulated around power and its expression, which grants a clear coherence to the period, extending well beyond the dynastic caesura of 132/750.
