Loci communes

maandag 4 april 2011 – Vers van de pers is deel 3 van de reeks Commonplace Culture in Western Europe in the Early Modern Period, onder de titel: Legitimation of Authority. De redactie was in handen van Joop Koopmans en de Deen Nils Holger Petersen.

De bundel artikelen is voortgekomen uit het Gronings-Deens-Engelse project Authority and Persuasion: the Role of Commonplaces in Western Europe (c.1450-c.1800). In het project is de betekenis van de term loci communes verbreed naar alle middelen om te overtuigen, via teksten, visuele bronnen, theater en muziek. Inhoud onder andere:

  • Marcel Broersma, ‘A Daily Truth. The Persuasive Power of Early Modern Newspapers’
  • Joop Koopmans, ‘Spanish Tyranny and Bloody Placards. Historical Commonplaces in the Struggle between Dutch Patriots and Orangists around 1780?’
  • André Hanou, ‘Common Sense and Commonwealth: A New Commonplace about Vice and Virtue. Bernard Mandeville and his Fable of the Bees (1705/1714)’
  • Alicia Montoya, ‘Naturalizing the Commonplace. New readings of Tasso During the Long Eighteenth Century (Sévigné, Rousseau)’
  • Carsten Meiner, ‘The Topology of Chance Meetings in the Early Modern European Novel’
