| Popis: | Ponukane raspravom u javnosti o borbi protiv širenja dezinformacija, autorice su odlučile istražiti kako su glasine na dalmatinskome prostoru obilježile živote pojedinaca i društva u srednjemu vijeku. Istraživanja na izvorima različite prirode (pravnim i književnim) vezanima uz prošlost pojedinih dalmatinskih komuna otkrivaju vezu između statusa pojedinca u društvu i glasina, različitost terminologije kojom se one označavaju, utjecaj glasina na ishode sudskih sporova i važnost koju je glasina imala u javnome životu, osobito u vrijeme prijetnji društvenoj sigurnosti. Time se daje opća slika uloge glasina u srednjovjekovnoj komuni te se skreće pažnja na specifične slučajeve u kojima se ona može proučavati. Ti su specifični slučajevi promatrani kroz izvore u kojima se nailazi na pojmove fama ili rumores, koji upućuju na prisutnost glasine. Analizom izvora uočavaju se prisutnost, karakter i uloga glasine, što dovodi do saznanja kako su glasine dubinski prožimale srednjovjekovna komunalna društva, a njihovo je širenje na razne načine obilježavalo društveni život dalmatinskih komuna. Encouraged by the public debate on the fight against the spread of misinformation, the authors have decided to investigate the impact of rumors on the lives of both individuals and societies on the Dalmatian territory in the Middle Age. Research of various types of sources (both legal and literary) relating to the history of certain Dalmatian communes reveals a connection between social standings of individuals and rumors, the difference between different terms that denote these rumors, the effect of rumors on outcomes of litigation processes, as well as the importance of rumors in public life, especially in times of threat to social security. A general impression is given of the role of rumors inside a medieval commune and attention is brought to specific cases in which that role can be studied. These particular cases are observed through sources in which one can find terms such as fama or rumores, which indicate the presence of rumors. Through an analysis of the sources, the presence, character and role of rumors are observed, and perceiving these characteristics leads to the conclusion that medieval societies were deeply imbued with rumors, and that their spreading in many ways marked the social life in Dalmatian communes. |
