"La première modernité catalyse la genèse de ce nouveau champ d'expériences publiques que sont les loisirs et les divertissements : théâtres, musées, expositions temporaires, promenades, cafés, foires, danses, jardins, auxquelles peut s'adonner la population européenne. La pratique de ces activités instaure au quotidien chez les particuliers un cadre physique et social stimulant, les plaçant ainsi au cœur d'une action qui excite chacun de leurs sens, de leurs sensations et de leurs émotions. En s'inscrivant dans le domaine de l'histoire des sensibilités, la question de ce corps sensoriel qui prend forme demeure encore largement inexplorée. Cette publication s'attache donc à retracer et analyser les tenants et les aboutissants de ce qui a permis de façonner cette entité singulière durant le long XVIIIe siècle (1660-1830)."--Page 4 of cover.

Welche Qualität haben Medien? Sind sie es »wert«, ausgezeichnet zu werden? Nachdem es in den 1960er Jahren sensationell war, mit dem Grimme-Preis Qualität im Fernsehen zu würdigen, kam als große Innovation vor 20 Jahren der Grimme Online Award hinzu, um hochwertige Internetangebote auszuzeichnen - und seit zehn Jahren würdigt der Deutsche Radiopreis Qualität und Stärken von Hörfunkprogrammen. Die Beitragenden des Bandes beleuchten erstmals übergreifend die Hintergründe rund um Qualität und Medien aus Sicht des Grimme-Instituts, mit Blick auf seine Jurys sowie aus wissenschaftlicher Warte. »Eine höchst informative Zwischenbilanz nach 56 Jahren Grimme-Preis. Sehr lesenswert.« Hans Helmut Prinzler, www.hhprinzler.de, 29.09.2020 Besprochen in: www.grimme-game.de, 14.12.2020

Why did eighteenth-century writers employ digression as a literary form of diversion, and how did their readers come to enjoy linguistic and textual devices that self-consciously disrupt the reading experience? Darryl P. Domingo answers these questions through an examination of the formative period in the commercialization of leisure in England, and the coincidental coming of age of literary self-consciousness in works published between approximately 1690 and 1760. During this period, commercial entertainers tested out new ways of gratifying a public increasingly eager for amusement, while professional writers explored the rhetorical possibilities of intrusion, obstruction, and interruption through their characteristic use of devices like digression. Such devices adopt similar forms and fulfil similar functions in literature as do diversions in culture: they 'unbend the mind' and reveal the complex reciprocity between commercialized leisure and commercial literature in the age of Swift, Pope, and Fielding.
