Resume : Un des arguments des historiens qui avancent que la question raciale ne prend forme qu'a l'epoque contemporaine consiste a montrer que l'evocation du sang est metaphorique avant l'avenement du racisme dit scientifique. Il se serait agi d'evoquer la place de l'identite lignagere a travers une image, celle du sang qui coule de generation en generation. Le present article, s'appuyant sur des sources a la fois normatives et litteraires, entend montrer au contraire que, des la fin du Moyen Âge, le sang reel est institue comme le porteur des qualites et de la dignite des personnes dans l'ordre social. Abstract : Historians who argue that the racial question only takes shape in modern times usually assume that the evocation of blood was just a metaphor before the blooming of so-called scientific racism. Before that, blood was a way to express the importance of the lineage identity, through the image of the blood that flows from generation to generation. This article, based on both normative and literary sources, intends to show, on the contrary, that from the end of the Middle Ages, the real blood is instituted as the bearer of the qualities and the dignity of the people in the social system.
