La baleine, l’animal le plus grand et le plus lourd de la Cr\u00e9ation, a toujours fascin\u00e9 l’\u00eatre humain. Sp\u00e9culations et fantasmes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d’autant plus nombreux que voir une baleine vivante a longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 rare. Son histoire est li\u00e9e \u00e0 celle de la mer, de la navigation et de la p\u00eache. Mais elle est aussi en relation avec celle des savoirs et des classifications du monde animal. Chass\u00e9e depuis le N\u00e9olithique, la baleine fut cependant mieux connue \u00e0 partir du moment (au XVIIe si\u00e8cle) o\u00f9 sa chasse quitta les c\u00f4tes, les fjords, pour s’exercer en haute mer. De la capture d’une baleine \u00e9taient tir\u00e9s un grand nombre de produits alimentant un commerce fructueux. Une industrie baleini\u00e8re vit progressivement le jour, mais elle devint si pr\u00e9datrice qu’il fallut, au XXe si\u00e8cle, limiter les prises et imposer des quotas.<\/p>\n

Entre-temps la symbolique de l’animal se modifia. Longtemps ce fut un monstre redoutable, au service des forces du mal. La Bible et la mythologie en faisaient un instrument de d\u00e9voration et les bestiaires m\u00e9di\u00e9vaux, un attribut du Diable. La litt\u00e9rature moderne ne fut gu\u00e8re plus indulgente, soulignant sa cruaut\u00e9 : c’\u00e9tait l’ogre des oc\u00e9ans, tel Moby-Dick, ce cachalot blanc et f\u00e9roce dont Hermann Melville a racont\u00e9 l’histoire. Mais plus on avan\u00e7ait dans le temps, plus cette image s’att\u00e9nua et s’inversa : le monstre marin fit peu \u00e0 peu place \u00e0 une cr\u00e9ature plus attachante, sinon pitoyable, injustement victime de la cupidit\u00e9 et de la violence des hommes. Aujourd’hui, cette sympathique baleine est devenue une des vedettes du livre pour enfants et l’image embl\u00e9matique de la plan\u00e8te en p\u00e9ril.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
