Histoires naturelles, récits de voyage et géopolitique religieuse dans l'Atlantique français XVIe et XVIIe siècles.

- Abstract
This article studies the Natural Histories and Travel Narratives of sixteenth century French authors with regard to their confessional discourse. In which ways did these genres serve the spiritual geopolitics of Catholics in Protestants, the so-called Huguenots, in French Atlantic? How did these Natural Histories and Travel Narratives develop between the sixteenth and late seventeenth centuries? Did they lose importance because of the controversies between Protestants and Catholics in France? What happened with the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes? Did French Protestant Travel Narratives still promote the establishment of Huguenot colonies in the French colonies?
