Abstract
Estimant insuffisante la distinction entre patrimoine matériel et immatériel, Olivier Bauer privilégie le concept de « matrimoine », une approche du patrimoine qui permet de valoriser le rôle des femmes, de reconnaître la valeur patrimoniale des biens indivis et de prendre en compte les mondes imaginaires qui leur sont associés. Jetant un regard neuf sur le Québec, il montre la place fondamentale que l’hostie y occupe : le mot fait partie du vocabulaire religieux, mais il est aussi le juron favori des Québécois ; la chose est consommée par les catholiques romains au moment de l’Eucharistie, mais elle est aussi vendue dans les magasins pour être grignotée comme goûter. Par conséquent, il propose d’inscrire l’hostie au matrimoine du Québec. Il énumère trois avantages qu’il y aurait à matrimonialiser l’hostie : reconnaître le rôle fondamental des femmes dans l’Eucharistie, refuser que l’Église catholique romaine s’attribue le monopole de l’hostie, prendre en compte le monde imaginaire du corps du Christ.
Because he is unsatisfied with the classical distinction between tangible and intangible heritage, Olivier Bauer prefers using the old French word ‘matrimoine’ to qualify a certain type of ‘patrimoine’. His approach makes possible to focus on the women’s role in the heritage, recognize the value of goods without owners and to take into account the imaginary worlds, which are associated for them. With a new sight at Quebec culture, he shows the fundamental place that the host occupies there: the word belongs to the religious vocabulary, but it is also the favourite swearword of the Quebecers; the thing is consumed by the Roman Catholics at the time of Eucharist, but it is also sold in the stores to be eaten as a snack. Consequently, he proposes to register the host with the ‘matrimoine du Quebec’. He enumerates three advantages that there would be considering the host as a piece of the ‘matrimoine’: to recognize the fundamental role of the women in Eucharist, to refuse that the Roman Catholic Church allots the monopoly of the host, to take into account the imaginary world of the body of Christ.
