Discord And Consensus In The Low Countries 17002000 Jane Fenoulhet by Jane Fenoulhet, Gerdi Quist, Ulrich Tiedau (eds.) instant download after payment.

All countries, regions and institutions are ultimately built on a degree of consensus, on a collective commitment to a concept, belief or value system. This consensus is continuously rephrased and reinvented through a narrative of cohesion and challenged by expressions of discontent and discord. The history of the Low Countries is characterised by both a striving for consensus and eruptions of discord, both internally and from external challenges. This interdisciplinary volume explores consensus and discord in a Low Countries context along broad cultural, linguistic and historical lines. Disciplines represented include early-modern and contemporary history art history film literature and translation scholars from both the Low Countries and beyond.
