In Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands, Gwendoline de Mûelenaere offers an account of the production of illustrated thesis prints in the seventeenth-century Southern Low Countries. She argues that the evolution of the thesis print genre gave rise to a specific visual language combining various figurative registers, both historical and symbolic. The book offers a reflection on the representation of knowledge in the context of academic defenses. Early Modern Thesis Prints makes a timely contribution to our understanding of early modern print culture and more specifically to the scholarship on the crucial role played by visual materials in early modern thought. ; Dans Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands, Gwendoline de Mûelenaere offre un compte-rendu de la pratique des thèses illustrées produites dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux au XVIIe siècle. Elle soutient que l’évolution du genre de la gravure de thèse a donné lieu à la création d’un langage visuel spécifique combinant efficacement divers registres figuratifs de nature historique et symbolique. L’ouvrage propose une réflexion sur la représentation du savoir et sa reconnaissance publique dans le contexte des défenses académiques. Early Modern Thesis Prints contribue à notre compréhension de la culture de l’imprimé qui s’est développée lors de la première modernité et, plus particulièrement, au domaine d’étude qui s’attache à l’analyse du rôle des matériaux visuels au sein de la pensée de la période moderne.
