商品描述
Starting from the fundamental epistemological shifts characterising the seventeenth century, this book explores the re-conceptualization of the notion of truth and asks how factuality, along with other truth-carrying discourses, was appropriated by a range of texts to generate credibility. Tracing the numerous ways in which authors such as John Dunton, Charles Gildon, François Perreaud, Thomas Brown, or Joseph Addison and Richard Steele deliberately toyed with the truth effects generated by their participation in discourses such as proto-science, medicine, philosophy, law and religion, this monograph argues that truth is not a monolithic constant. Performing Factuality proposes that truth is protean, ever-emerging from a simultaneously conventionalised yet constantly mutating set of practices, something which not simply is but something which is actively done. This performative dimension finds one of its most powerful examples in the case of Dunton and his handful of collaborators working on the Athenian Mercury, which set the tone in periodical publication for decades if not centuries to come.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
從十七世紀的基本認識論轉變開始，本書探討了真理概念的重新定義，並詢問事實性以及其他承載真理的話語是如何被一系列文本所採用以產生可信度。追溯約翰·丹頓（John Dunton）、查爾斯·吉爾登（Charles Gildon）、弗朗索瓦·佩雷奧（François Perreaud）、托馬斯·布朗（Thomas Brown）或約瑟夫·艾迪生（Joseph Addison）和理查德·斯蒂爾（Richard Steele）等作者如何故意玩弄他們在原始科學、醫學、哲學、法律和宗教等話語中所產生的真理效果，這本專著主張真理並不是一個單一的常數。《執行事實性》（Performing Factuality）提出真理是變幻莫測的，總是從一套同時被常規化但不斷變化的實踐中浮現出來，這不僅僅是某種「存在」，而是某種被積極「執行」的東西。這種表演性維度在丹頓及其少數幾位合作者在《雅典水銀報》（Athenian Mercury）上的案例中找到了最有力的例證，該報刊在未來幾十年甚至幾個世紀的期刊出版中定下了基調。
