---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
