"Boundaries of History" - Book Presentation "Language Choice in Enlightenment Europe"
On November 15, 2018, at 6.30 pm we invite you to the seminar “Boundaries of History”. Vladislav Rjéoutski (DHI Moskau) and Olga Khavanova (Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy ofSciences, Moscow) will present "Language Choice in Enlightenment Europe" (Amsterdam University Press, 2018)
Vladislav Rjéoutski, Willem Frijhoff (eds):
Language Choice in Enlightenment Europe. Education, Sociability, and Governance.
This multinational collection of essays challenges the traditional image of a monolingual Ancient Regime in Enlightenment Europe, both East and West. Its archival research explores the important role played by selective language use in social life and in the educational provisions in the early constitution of modern society. A broad range of case studies show how language was viewed and used symbolically by social groups - ranging from the nobility to the peasantry - to develop, express, and mark their identities.
