Esto de enmendar costumbres es peligroso y violento.
Las palabras son como monedas, que una vale por muchas como muchas no valen por una.
Es gran virtud tener a todos por mejores que nosotros.
Escrito está en mi alma vuestro gesto.
Para vivir me basta desearos, para ser venturoso, conoceros.
¿Qué locura o desatino me lleva a contar las ajenas faltas, teniendo tanto que decir de las mías?

Voices y silences: cultural discourses in the modern age

 

The Network of Excellence “Voices and Silences” is supported by two calls of the State Plan for R + D + i, through funded projects (FFI2015-71390-REDT and FFI2017-90732-REDT)

Organization

Consisting of six teams, dedicated to the study of Hispanic and European Letters, this network concentrates on the epoch in which the literary and political modern systems is formed. The period in question is, between the consolidation of the printing press and shortly before the Enlightenment. With an emphasis on the importance of collaboration, the integration of perspectives leading to an improvement of knowledge is the driving force and core value of this network.

The work teams, -including the principal researchers’ of each team, consist of Consolación Baranda Leturio, Mercedes Comellas, Cesc Esteve, Ignacio García Aguilar, Mª Carmen Marín Pina, Valentín Núñez Rivera and Pedro Ruiz Pérez (coord.).

Objetives

Its objective is to address research questions about how the discourses of modernity were shaped as well as their defining challenges, which can be raised (or not) in dialectical terms: orality-writing, free subject-coercions and controls, individual-community, tolerance-repression , models-novelty, center-periphery, domain-exclusion, patronage-market, voices-silences, tradition-innovation …

The network also has the indefeasible objectives of promoting research excellence, the training and mobility of doctors and the international visibility of Spanish research on the modern period.
