pastourelle

Pastourelle designation

Record who applies the genre name and whether that label belongs to a witness, an editor or a later interpretation.

1. Which source calls this work a pastourelle, and what passage or catalogue entry supports that designation? provenance
2. Does the designation refer to the literary or song genre rather than another meaning of pastourelle? boundary

Scenario fit

Assess the combination of rural encounter, interlocutors and love-related exchange, with reasons for accepting departures.

1. Which features of the encounter support pastourelle classification beyond a rural setting? definition
2. If the familiar knight-shepherdess encounter is absent, what evidence supports retaining this work within the genre? boundary

Situated participants

Identify rural activities, participant roles and explicit status markers without treating literary characters as social documentation.

1. What location, activity or descriptive detail establishes the rural encounter? definition
2. Which words establish each participant's occupation or social standing, and which identifications are editorial inferences? provenance

Voice allocation

Record the narrator, speech turns and places where another speaker's intentions are reported rather than directly expressed.

1. Who narrates the encounter, and is that narrator also a participant? definition
2. Which responses are directly spoken, paraphrased by the narrator or supplied by an editor? provenance
3. How do speech turns and the final word distribute authority between the participants? measurement

Exchange and agency

Record verbal persuasion, gifts, status claims, threats and responses when present, keeping ambiguous readings explicit.

1. What does the suitor request or offer, and which passages establish the response? definition
2. Does an interpretation of agreement rely on explicit speech, narrator assertion or an assumption about genre conventions? boundary
3. Which expressions require annotation because translation could obscure refusal, pressure or irony? action

Ending evidence

Identify how the encounter ends and whether the surviving text permits a settled account.

1. Does the ending establish refusal, escape, intervention, agreement, violence or an unresolved encounter? definition
2. Is uncertainty caused by ambiguous language, a missing ending or disagreement among interpreters? provenance
3. How should a summary preserve that uncertainty and avoid presenting the narrator's judgment as an established event? action

Formal profile

Document stanza arrangement, rhyme, line lengths and refrains without making any one pattern a universal membership rule.

1. What stanza, rhyme and line-length patterns occur in this version, and where do they vary? measurement
2. How do refrains or stanza boundaries relate to changes of speaker and stages of the encounter? definition

Setting evidence

Record the source of any melody, its association with the text and the editorial choices needed to perform it.

1. Which witness or documented association supports the melody used for this pastourelle? provenance
2. Which elements of rhythm, pronunciation, accompaniment or text underlay are editorial or performative choices? boundary
3. What must be labelled as reconstruction when preparing a performance? action

Version and attribution

Record incipits, witness locations, attribution evidence and variants relevant to genre interpretation.

1. Which incipit, manuscript shelfmark and folio or edition reference identify the text being analysed? provenance
2. What evidence supports the author and date attribution, and are alternatives recorded? provenance
3. Do differences in speakers, refusals or endings represent witness variants, editorial decisions or separate adaptations? boundary

Derived treatment

Document changes to the encounter and identify the particular text, translation, score or recording proposed for reuse.

1. Which source version underlies this translation, dramatisation or musical treatment, and how does it change the encounter? provenance
2. Should the treatment be described as a version of the work, an adaptation or a new work drawing on the genre? boundary
3. What attribution and verified reuse conditions apply to the specific edition, translation, score or recording the agent intends to use? action
