script have changed through time, elloquently testifying about the paradigm shifts in the European archaeology, at the same time indicating dangerous contaminations of archaeology by pseudo-archaeological ideas. During the 19th and first half of the 20th century, the idea of a script in the Neolithic cultures of South Eastern Europe surfaced occasionaly as an argument for the short "historical" chronology and Near Eastern influences. During the 1980s the idea of the Vina script emerges again in Serbia, this time, as an invented tradition, from the pseudo-scholar circles, and is massively supported by the media. The Vina script becomes the central motif of a much larger pseudoscholar movement: the invention of script is linked to praehistory of South Eastern Europe, allegedly from Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Lepenski Vir, over the Etruscan, Lydian and other scripts, down to Cyrillic and Latin letters. Unfortunately, over the last years the term the Vina script falsely represented by the media as a new and equally valid interpretive paradigm seeps into the general public discourse, and even into archaeology itself. Key words: Invention of tradition, Vina script, Neolithic, Etruscan script, Serbia, Pseudoarcheology Aleksandar Palavestra LInvention dune tradition: l"criture de Vinca" La notion problmatique d "criture de Vinca" sapplique certains ornements inciss et signes sur la cramique de la culture de Vinca lune des "cultures" les plus importantes du nolithique de lEurope du Sud-Est. Lemploi et labus de ce phnomne et du terme mme d "criture de Vinca" ont volu avec le temps, et cest ainsi que dun ct ils tmoignent loquemment des changements de paradigmes dans larchologie europenne, alors que de lautre ct ils rendent compte des contaminations dangereuses de larchologie par des ides pseudo-archologiques. Au 19e et dans la premire moiti du 20e sicle, lide dune criture dans les cultures nolithiques de lEurope du SudEst apparaissait parfois comme la confirmation de la courte chronologie "historique" et des influences proche-orientales, ce qui, en tant que paradigme interprtatif, a t compltement ananti par la nouvelle chronologie S-14. Dans les annes 80 du 20e sicle, lide de l "criture de Vinca" apparat nouveau en Serbie, cette fois comme une tradition invente, venant de tout autres cercles pseudo-scientifiques et fortement encourage par une campagne mdiatique. L "criture de Vinca" devient le motif central dun mouvement pseudoscientifique bien plus large, o la dcouverte de lcriture est associe la prhistoire de lEurope du Sud-Est (prtendument depuis le palolithique, le

msolithique, Lepenski vir, en passant par lcriture trusque, lydienne et dautres critures authentiques, jusquaux alphabets cyrillique et latin). Naturellement, la prtendue "criture de Vinca" dans les temps troubls des identits ethniques branles et de leffervescence politique dans les Balkans, devient un exemple clatant du dtournement du pass des fins politiques momentanes. Malheureusement, ces dernires annes la notion d "criture de Vinca" - faussement prsente dans les mdias comme un paradigme interprtatif nouveau et galement valide selon le principe des vases communicants, dborde le cadre de la pseudo-science pour se rpandre dans le discours public, et mme dans larchologie. Mots-cls: tradition invente, criture de Vinca, nolithique, criture trusque, Serbie, pseudo-archologie
