(Not) Describing the Revolt: Lords and Subjects React to Disobedience in Saxony and Thuringia in the Second Half of the Seventeenth Century - 2017.
96
This article analyzes the way that revolt is described or passed over in silence by the two principal parties involved in it: those governing and those governed. Using the example of seventeenth-century Germany as its point of departure, it shows that not only must the status of the speaker be taken into account—the context of a statement and its recipient(s) must be, too. Depending on whether a speech is intended for the imperial public sphere or, on the contrary, is supposed to remain a local secret, revolt is not presented in the same light, and different elements are spotlighted (disobedience, violence, and collective organization).
