Description
Summary:International audience The Forest Nenets have two indigenous genres defining their narrative genres: "shotpyavs" and "wanL". This article attempts, on the bases of fieldwork, to understand how these genres function synchronically and diachronically. I show that these categories are dynamic and allow to keep narratives alive thanks to a change of status even if the belief system in which they were included changes. Les Nénetses des forêts ont deux genres narratifs, appelés shotpyavs" et "wanL". Cet article entend comprendre le fonctionnement de ces deux genres en synchronie et en diachronie, sur la base de travaux de terrain. Je montre que ces catégorie sont dynamiques et permettent de garder en vie des récits grâce à un changement de statut, même si le système de croyances qu'ils reflètent est amené à changer.
