Abstract

This work examines the concept of trust in the light of virtue theory, and takes our responsibility to be trustworthy as central. Rather than thinking of trust as risk-taking, Potter views it as equally a matter of responsibility-taking. Her work illustrates that relations of trust are never independent from considerations of power, and that asking ourselves what we can do to be trustworthy allows us to move beyond adversarial trust relationships and toward a more democratic, just, and peaceful society.

Abstract

"Hij is een origineel schrijver en denker en een geweldig stilist, met niet zelden een fijnzinnig gevoel voor humor. Hij maakt nieuwsgierig, zet aan tot denken en is kritisch op een zeer unieke manier." Zo beschreef de jury van de Heldringprijs 2018 het werk van Maxim Februari, schrijver van romans, verhalen, essays en columns waarin de grote thema's van deze tijd erudiet worden besproken, met oog voor de eigenaardigheden van het dagelijks leven. In 'De onbetrouwbare verteller' werpt Februari nieuw licht op zijn oude overtuigingen. Zijn kerngedachte is dat je de complexiteit van het bestaan niet kunt samenvatten in modellen en rationalisaties. Je kunt proberen greep te krijgen op de wereld door te praten en te schrijven, maar altijd ontgaat je de essentie. Nu, in deze nieuwe eeuw, wordt de woordcultuur vervangen door een rekencultuur. Die claimt het bestaan wel volledig te begrijpen en zelfs te kunnen voorspellen. Maar dat is bluf. 'De onbetrouwbare verteller' is een selectie eerder verschenen essays, columns en lezingen. Plus een kort verhaal, 'Razernij', waarin het psychologische portret wordt geschetst van een jongeman die onverwacht iets niet wil.

Abstract

"Initiating a transgeneric, intermedial and interdisciplinary approach to narrative unreliability, this volume is meant to enrich, modify and refine our understanding of (un)reliable narration by taking into account not only different genres and media, but also research in a variety of disciplines. The three sections of the volume comprise articles on the theory of unreliable narration, transgeneric and intermedial issues as well as studies from areas such as journalism, politics, law and medicine" --

Abstract

Trust is the basis of all social relations. It presupposes the concordance of word and deed. Trust is not created spontaneously, but requires a process of observation and socialization, and thus is culturally determined and subject to change. Writing may engender trust, and trust may be placed in written texts.The contributions to this volume address the complex relationships between ‘trust’ and ‘writing’ in the Middle Ages. They deal with charters, historiography, letters, political communication, and the possibilities of trust in writing. Some of the questions addressed are: Does writing as a medium engender trust irrespective of the contents of the written text? Was trust in writing dependent on trust in an authority? Was the written form of the text meant to confer trust on its contents? Did rituals take place that were meant to enhance the text’s trustworthiness? Can changes be observed in the strategies of engendering trust? Was trust considered food for reflection in written texts? What was considered to constitute a breach of trust? The volume is dedicated to Michael Clanchy, whose work inspired much of its contents.
