WILLIAM HOGARTH A KONVERZÁCIA

100%
EN
The engraving A Midnight modern Conversation by the English genre and satirical painter and printmaker William Hogarth (1697–1764) belongs to the artist’s most discussed and interpreted works ever since its creation in 1733. On the basis of two detailed period commentaries on this engraving by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1786 and 1794), the study draws attention to Hogarth’s representation of sociability from the point of view of theories of conversation and conviviality in the 18th century, and from the point of view of the philosophy of human nature.

The paper aims to map the field of interest in conversation as a phenomenon in various arts (cultural history, social science, linguistics) in the last few decades, assuming that the field was established in order to differentiate it from other similar notions such as a dialogue. What has become the centre of attention is the acknowledgement of conversation as a social, cultural and linguistic phenomenon, the main function of which in different periods of time and social environments has been that of social stabilization, and the various forms of which can be studied using as sources the oral as well as written records, which enables access to the historical forms of conversational culture. The writer offers a mutual confrontation between several attempts at defining conversation and formulates competences and certain tasks which can be faced by literary research on conversation.

In his book 'Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature' Richard Rorty claims that some projects of philosophy or philosophy -as theory of knowledge, as he calls it, are optional and contingent. In the first place, the author tries to show Rorty's strategy which leads him to that thesis. Secondly, he attempts to critically investigate his 'crucial premise' according to which the adequate model of knowledge is not a model of 'confrontation' but of 'conversation'. In the end he also considers a perspective in which both models do not rule out each other, but become two equally important aspects of knowledge.

The boisterous conviviality we know from Dutch genre painting of the 17th century expresses only one side – albeit an important one – of the culture of conversation in the Dutch “Golden Age”. The author writes about what the ideal image and everyday life of conversation looked like in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces, the freest European country of the Baroque period. The picture of the multifaceted culture of communication in the Netherlands of the era can be shown by means of not only visual, but also rich literary material. Diaries, memoirs, correspondence, conduct manuals and, in many cases, literary works of the time show what rules governed free communication, what habitats were predominant in sociable conversation and what was permitted in it. However, it was not only great personalities of Dutch education such as Hugo Grotius or Constantijn Huygens Jr. who commented on the sociability of their time; impressive images of it were also provided by numerous foreigners who travelled to and admired the Netherlands.
