Abstract

This collection of essays examines the vogue for games and game playing as expressed in art and literature in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Focusing on games as a leitmotif of creative expression, these scholarly inquiries are framed as a response to two main questions: how were games used to convey special meanings in art and literature, and how did games speak to greater issues in European society? In chapters dealing with chess, playing cards, board games, dice, gambling, and outdoor and sportive games, essayists show how games were used by artists, writers, game makers and collectors, in the service of love and war, didactic and moralistic instruction, commercial enterprise, politics and diplomacy, and assertions of civic and personal identity. Offering innovative iconographical and literary interpretations, their analyses reveal how games 'played, written about, illustrated and collected' functioned as metaphors for a host of broader cultural issues related to gender relations and feminine power, class distinctions and status, ethical and sexual comportment, philosophical and religious ideas, and conditions of the mind.

Abstract

Ce numéro des Études sur le XVIIIe siècle consacré à l'écriture des sciences s'attache aux modalités de repérage, de description et de mise en ordre des productions de la nature, aux techniques d'argumentation, de représentation et d'ordonnancement des connaissances, aux échanges entre textes et images, aux stratégies de transmission, de diffusion et de transfert des savoirs. Les sciences de la nature qui aspirent à une connaissance empirique du monde - plutôt qu'à un savoir mathématisé - et recourent à l'observation - plutôt qu'aux pratiques expérimentales - sont plus particulièrement convoquées dans les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume qui s'organise en deux grands volets. Le premier est consacré aux "Notes, récits, discours", le deuxième met l'accent sur les "images, les figures et les substituts", notamment sur le rôle de l'iconographie dans ses interactions avec les discours savants.

Abstract

The period of the Renaissance (late 14th to early 17th centuries) saw the most intensive reception of Antiquity in European history. The rediscovery, appropriation and further development of the accomplishments of the ancients had a crucial influence in all spheres of early modern culture. This lexicon of Renaissance Humanism traces these processes from the career of Petrarch to the period of the Reformation and confessionalization, in 130 comprehensive articles covering topics, personalities and places of importance in the history of the Humanist movement.
