In Light of Another`s Word – European Ethnography in the Middle Ages: The Middle Ages Series

Autor Shirin A. Khanmohamadi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 dec 2013
Challenging the traditional conception of medieval Europe as insular and xenophobic, Shirin A. Khanmohamadi's In Light of Another's Word looks to early ethnographic writers who were surprisingly aware of their own otherness, especially when faced with the far-flung peoples and cultures they meant to describe.

Recenzii

"In prose regularly both fresh and elegant, Shirin A. Khanmohamadi transforms our understanding of the formal features of medieval ethnography, and offers an exciting account of the diverse ways ethnography can work."-Patricia Clare Ingham, Indiana University "Shirin Khanmohamadi persuasively demonstrates the distinctiveness of medieval (versus antique and early modern) representations of non-European others. Shaped by a scrupulous attention to relative chronology and historical context, her analyses combine a sure-handed command of critical and theoretical discourses with nuanced close readings. In lucid prose, she makes a strong case for the variety and flexibility of Latin Europe's encounter with various non-Christian others across three languages and over three centuries. In Light of Another's Word is destined to become an indispensable entry in the bibliography of 'postcolonial' medievalism."-Sharon Kinoshita, University of California, Santa Cruz
