selviscenesættelse

selv (“self”) + iscenesættelse (“staging (e.g. of a play)”)

af

De romerske luksusvarer indgik som et vigtigt led ikke blot i krigeraristokratiets økonomiske magt, men også i deres selvforståelse og selviscenesættelse.

2007, Helge J. Kudahl, Ravnehovedringe og stormandsalliancer i romersk jernalder:

The Roman luxury goods were not just an important part of the warrior aristocracy's economical power, but also their^([sic]) self-understanding and self-staging.

Når kunstneren stiller sig i vejen for sin kunst, er det ikke kun et udslag af den selviscenesættelse, der i romantikken og modernismen tog overhånd i en grad, så fortællingen om værket blev en del af det.

2015, Jens Christian Grøndahl, Hjemme i Europa, Gyldendal A/S, →ISBN:

When the artist puts themselves in the way of their art, it is not just a manifestation of the self-staging that, during Romanticism and Modernism, took over to a degree that the narrative about the work became a part of it.

Sådan er Brian Holms liv,og hvis der er to ting, han ikke kan fordrage, er det storskrydende selviscenesættelse og dårlige løgne.

2013, Reimer Bo Christensen, Niels Christian Jung, På mestrenes asfalt - Den store cykelbog, Lindhardt og Ringhof, →ISBN:

Thus is the life of Brian Holm, and if there are two things he cannot stand, it is ostentatious self-staging and bad lies.

Ikke alene ødelagde Svend gæstefreden, men han slap samtidig alle hæmninger løs og øvede helligbrøde ved at gøre Guds Hus til et blodigt rettersted.

2017, Helle Stangerup, Saxo: Danmarkskrøniken II, Lindhardt og Ringhof, →ISBN:

Svend not only violated hospitality, but at the same time he abandoned all restraints and perpetrated sacrilege by turning God's house into a bloody place of execution.

Drab med Krænkelse af Husfreden maa i øvrigt ikke sammenblandes med det ovennævnte Forhold, at Husherren dræber Gæsten eller omvendt, hvilket snarere maa betegnes som Drab med Krænkelse af Gæstefreden.

1922, Københavns universitet, Festskrift:

Also, manslaughter with a violation of the husfred mustn't be conflated with the case mentioned above in which the master of the house kills the guest or vice versa, which should rather be considered manslaughter with a violation of hospitality
