‎Summary Cic ron oppose dans le De oratore loquence et rh torique : c'est en prenant des le ons de ceux qui avaient une loquence naturelle que l'art de la rh torique est n . L' loquence n'est pas une cons quence de la rh torique, mais la rh torique l'est de l' loquence. La rh torique ne doit jamais oublier son rapport la nature. Or, aux cours des ges, la rh torique devenue prescriptive finit par s'isoler du sens, de la cr ation, de l'action humaine et devenir l'exercice st rile d'hommes obscurs, ab m s dans le silence de la vita contemplativa. Lorsque les pr tres donnent plus dans les mots que dans le contenu, chante le fou dans Le Roi Lear (III, 2), le royaume n'est pas loin du pourrissement. Dans cette relation entre loquence et action la Renaissance, l'action n'est autre que le concept sugg r par la vita activa, tout ce qui touche la vie sociale et politique et que la p riode humaniste privil gie. Si l'action se distingue ainsi de l'actio, la cinqui me t che de la rh torique, qui met en oeuvre le corps m me de la parole, la voix et le geste, qu'il soit de la main ou de l'oeil, elle peut aussi l'inclure. la cour d'Elsinore, les gestes et les regards de l'acteur ont un r le politique. Ainsi se propose-t-on de comprendre comment la Renaissance a repris le grand d bat classique sur la valeur thique de l' loquence et de son art, la rh torique. Comment les oppositions mots/choses, mots/faits et mots/actes se relaient entre elles pour fonder des th ories du langage qui peuvent aboutir un scepticisme sur le pouvoir des mots ou au contraire sa valorisation, allant jusqu' faire de l' loquence une arme contre la violence. L' tude de la vie publique et de la langue, en passant par celle des arts, musique et peinture, fait appara tre l'importance de ce d bat l' ge moderne.

‎Disciplined Dissent in Western Europe, 1200?1600. Political Action between Submission and Defiance‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 356 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503598284.‎

‎Summary This innovative collection explores the causes and effects of 'disciplined dissent' - forms of protest or political action positioned between the poles of submission and defiance. To identify the political influence of commoners, the emphasis is neither 'top down' nor 'bottom up' but on mutual influence and the interplay between rulers and ruled. Contributions concerning quite diverse polities show a careful opposition of non-elite people through an effort to respect the legislative system and to find common ground with the authorities. The aim was to emphasize aspects of the norms and institutions in favour of the benefit of the community, or to ensure adjustments of some aspects if found to be beneficial for the few and detrimental for many. The examination of non-violent pressure can help us to have a more exhaustive understanding of the protagonists, causes, and effects of socio-political changes in contexts of governmental development. The analysis includes cases of violent action that managed to secure royal approval. The premise of the book is that inequality, far from being accepted as normal and inevitable, was frequently questioned by less powerful people. When targeted by more or less evident forms of political marginalization, they laid claim to principles of justice and on this basis developed a critical comprehension of government, pursued a selective rejection of injustice, and gained recognition through negotiation.

‎Order into Action. How Large-Scale Concepts of World-Order determine Practices in the Premodern World‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 16 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503590462.‎

‎Summary The construction and application of models that order complex phenomena such as 'the world' is not a 'neutral' activity: theoretical models and ideas help us to perceive and categorize the information conveyed by experience and tradition alike; in turn, they also influence the behaviour and actions of individuals and groups. Collecting a global series of case studies on premodern societies, this volume proposes new approaches to research into premodern models of world-order and their effects. With its focus on the period between c. 1300 and 1600, it seeks to open up fresh perspectives for premodern Global History and the analysis of phenomena of transcultural contact and exchange. Focussing on religious, political, and geographical ideas and models, the contributions explore whether and how large-scale concepts influenced or even determined concrete actions. The examples include socio-religious concepts (Christianity, terra paganorum, d?r al-?arb), political concepts (empire) and geographical notions. A special section is dedicated to comparative insights into societies in Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and pre-Columbian America. Taken together, the contributions underline the importance and effects of historically shaped cultural traits in the long term.
