Félibrige
Félibrige ( Occitan lo Felibritge / lou Felibrige ) is an association to which seven writers came together on May 21, 1854 at Castle Font-Ségugne near Avignon to initiate a rebirth of Provencal culture.
history
The founding members of the new association were Frédéric Mistral ( oc. Frédéri Mistral), Joseph Roumanille ( oc. Jóusè Roumanille), Théodore Aubanel , Jean Brunet , Alphonse Tavan , Paul Giéra and Anselme Mathieu .
The political intentions of the association - a southern French autonomy - failed, but the founding of various other regionalist movements was made easier by the pioneering role of Félibrige.
The Félibrige's attempt to make the dialect of Saint Rémy (Côte d'Or) the binding language of the south also failed . The Armana prouvençau (organ of the Félibrige) still exists today in the form of an almanac . Nevertheless, Félibrige's literary heyday seems to have ended around 1900.
Writer of Félibrige
The writers belonging to Félibrige, such as the above-mentioned founding members or Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian , are referred to in French as "Félibres" (singular: "Félibre"). The corresponding female name for female writers of the Félibrige is "Félibresse".
