Machiavellian otium: Strategies of Retreat in Niccolò Machiavelli’s Letters Between 1512 and 1527 (D06 (P06))

子项目D6在对意大利和法国早期现代文学中的典型作者和（背景）文本进行个案研究的基础上，调查了奥蒂姆和赞助人之间的关系。有条理的方法依赖于历史，语言学和文学分析以及档案，图书馆和实地研究之间的互动。该研究项目的目的是仔细审查otium制度化的可能性和类型，其规范可以在于自由空间的创建和监管之间的对比领域。

The subproject D6 investigates the relationship between otium and patronage on the basis of case studies on exemplary authors and (con-)texts from early modern literatures in Italy and France. The methodical approach relies on an interaction between historical, philological and literary analysis as well as archive-, library- and field studies. The aim of this research project is to put under scrutiny the possibilities and types of the institutionalisation of otium, the specification of which can lie in the contrasting fields between the creation of free spaces and their regulation.
