Topic: Latten


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Latten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Latten refers loosely to copper alloys, much like brass, employed in the Middle Ages and through to the late 18th and early 19th Centuries, for items such as decorative effect on borders, rivets or other details of metalwork (particularly armour) and for funerary effigies.
"Latten" also refers to a type of tin plating on iron (or possibly some other base metal), which is known as white latten; and fl latten refers to laten-brass, which is brass milled into thin plates or sheets.
In general, metal in thin sheets is said to be latten such as gold latten; and lattens, plural, refers to metal sheets between 1/64" and ≤ 1/32" in thickness.

 National Review Online (http://www.nationalreview.com)
Latten could have treated same-sex marriage as a counter-trend to the process of family "informalisation." After all, at least technically, gay marriage entails more family formalization, not less.
As Latten treats it, same-sex marriage is one of a series of developments that move family life further into the private realm.
In 2004, the same year that Latten's essay (in Dutch) on the decline of Dutch marriage came out, Joop Garssen, Latten's colleague at the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics, co-published a brief English language article in Canada's National Post denying that Dutch marriage was in trouble, or that same-sex marriage had undermined it.
