Gratia-øvelser i Højsangen - Kan et værdisæt fastholdes gennem positive retoriske strategier forbundet med en taknemmelighedspraksis?

Abstract

The article examines how gratitude can be seen as social glue that helps in forming, maintaining, and strengthening relationships. However, the human brain is prone to a negative bias but daily practice can make sure that humans change their reality for the better. The Song of Songs is used as a case to illustrate different rhetorical strategies: trust and faithfulness strategy, admiration and appreciation strategy, longing and lack strategy, and satisfaction strategy.
