Summary: | International audience In this article, I follow the missionaries' activities in the 18th-19th centuries in Northern Russia. There have been two main missions by the Westernmost peoples of the North before the 20th century: the first is Filofey Leshchinski's, in Western Siberia, from 1712 to 1725. The second is Archimandrite Veniamin's by the European Nenets from 1825 and 1830. I study these two mission experiences and wonder about the methods implemente by both men and about the conditions for the success of their endeavours. I emphasise the increased role of words and speech in their practice. Dans cet article, je me concentre sur l'oeuvre missionnaire accomplie par les missionnaires orthodoxes au XVIIIe - XIXe siècle pour évangéliser les populations boréales de la Russie. Il y a eu deux grandes missions avant le XXe siècle chez les peuples du Nord de la Russie: celle de Filofej Leshchinskij en Sibérie Occidentale entre 1712 et 1725, et celle de Veniamin chez les Nénetses de la Russie d'Europe un siècle plus tard, entre 1825 et 1830. Cet article se penche sur ses deux missions et s'interroge sur les méthodes de deux missionnaires ainsi que sur les conditions de la réussite de leur entreprise. Il met l'accent sur le rôle accru de la parole et du discours dans leur pratique. |
