This article studies the strategies of mobilization and political communication of craftsmen during a revolt in Saint-Omer in 1305–6. An analysis of a written series of testimonies about the revolt shows that it was not a spontaneous happening, but the outcome of a strategically planned and cunningly carried out mobilization of men, money and means. The well-established practices of gathering, the remarkable culture of assembly and the efficiency of the mobilization of craftsmen of Saint-Omer demonstrate that these corporate associations had developed a sophisticated ‘repertoire of contention’ already around 1300. The repertoire was not new or unheard of, but rather strongly rooted in existing structures, corporate practices and venerable communal ideas of protecting the city.

如何在中世纪法国北部组织城市起义：圣奥梅尔工匠的动员和政治沟通策略，1305-1306

本文研究了 1305-6 年圣奥梅尔起义期间工匠的动员和政治沟通策略。对一系列关于起义的书面证词的分析表明，这不是自发发生的，而是战略性计划和巧妙地动员人员、金钱和手段的结果。Saint-Omer 成熟的集会实践、卓越的集会文化以及动员工匠的效率表明，这些企业协会在 1300 年左右就已经形成了一套复杂的“竞争曲目”。曲目并不是新的或闻所未闻的的，而是深深植根于现有的结构、企业实践和保护城市的古老公共理念。
