Making Difference in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia de Jean Dangler

Making Difference in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia

Autor Jean Dangler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2005
Medieval Iberia was a multicultural territory of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian societies in constant geographic, cultural, political, and economic contact. In this engaging study, Jean Dangler examines the way that ideas of difference were forged in four types of medieval Iberian discourse: muwashshah/jarcha poems from al-Andalus, Andalusi cutting poems, medical literature about the body, and portrayals of the monster. She argues that the texts demonstrate the two fundamental precepts of medieval Iberian alterity: multifaceted subject formation and the embrace of contrasts and the negative. Dangler explores how the four discourses she analyzes changed in the early modern period from an acceptance of difference to more rigid concepts of subjectivity and the marginalization of difference-a shift accompanying the rise of the Castilian nation-state and its imposition of static hierarchies of value.-- "Choice"

Recenzii

“Dangler looks at the forces that define and control alterity in four sets of discourses: muwashsha/jarcha poetry of al-Andalus, lace-like Andalusi ‘cutting poems’ (cartas de Tijeras), medical treatises concerning the body, and representations of monsters. Relating the development of the medieval models to changing perceptions of the Otherness and to the cultural values that both inform and derive from them, the author argues that medieval society did not depend on the hierarchies and acts of denigration that came to characterize the early modern mindset…Highly recommended.” —Choice, May 2006

“Jean Dangler has attempted to enlighten the reader to a further understanding of medieval Iberia's 'Golden Age' of toleration and how that era evolved into one of intolerance . . . Dangler's elucidation and scholarship are unquestionable.” —The Historian, vol. 69, no. 3

“Jean Dangler… examines ways in which ideas of difference were forged in four types of Iberian discourse: jarchas poems from Al-Andalus, Andalusí cutting poems, medical literature about the body, and discourses about monsters… Her enthralling analysis of these four discourses examines early modern transformations that illustrate shifts in the perceptions of alterity and in prevailing cultural values.” —This Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, 68, 2006, 2008
