Description
Médiévales - Année 2000 - Volume 19 - Numéro 39 - Pages 14-29Le présent article envisage la question de l'innovation à travers la biographie d'un maçon travaillant à Aix-en-Provence autour de 1450. L'importante documentation réunie sur cet artisan quelconque permet d'évoquer, à partir d'exemples concrets, les conditions et les raisons de quelques-uns de ces changements mineurs, ou de ces bricolages, qui animèrent l'histoire des techniques. Les exemples proposés illustrent trois approches possibles de la nouveauté à travers les actes de la pratique. Ils mettent en évidence, à la fois, la multiplicité, et l'imbrication, des facteurs susceptibles d'expliquer le processus d'innovation, et le caractère aléatoire de ce dernier.
The Role of the Individual in Innovation - The present article explores the question of innovation through the study of the biography of a mason who worked in Aix-en-Provence around 1450. The important documentation gathered concerning this ordinary craftsman reveals, through concrete examples, the conditions and the reasons which led to some of the minor changes, or the odd jobs, which animate the history of technology. The examples proposed illustrate three possible approaches to change as suggested by the exercise of the profession. They demonstrate at the same time the multiplicity and the imbrication of the factors which contribute to explain the process of innovation, as well as its hazardous character.
