Abstract

Maribas mentionné dans Départ pour le sabbat, neuvième fantaisie de L’École flamande, rejoint sorciers et sorcières en s’envolant sur la queue de la poêle. En nous appuyant sur les études de E. J. Kent portant sur la sorcellerie masculine, nous explorons la valeur subversive du personnage de Maribas dans Gaspard de la Nuit, ainsi que ses caractéristiques traditionnelles, en contextualisant cette figure dans l’histoire culturelle, sociale (et genrée) de la sorcellerie masculine.

This article focuses on the character of Maribas, who is mentioned twice in ‘Depart pour le sabbat’, the ninth poem of the ‘Ecole flamande’, where he joins the magicians by flying away on a saucepan handle. Building on E. J. Kent’s pioneering work on male witchcraft, our aim is to explore the subversive value of Maribas’s inclusion in the collection, by contextualizing this figure within the cultural, social (and gendered) histories of the male witch and his related traditional features.
