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

D6子项目基于对意大利和法国早期现代文学中典型作者和(对照)文本的案例研究，调查了Otium与赞助之间的关系。有条不紊的方法依赖于历史、文献学和文学分析以及档案、图书馆和实地研究之间的互动。这一研究项目的目的是对Otium制度化的可能性和类型进行审查，其具体说明可能在于自由空间的创建和监管之间的不同领域。

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.
