Truth and Tales: Cultural Mobility and Medieval Media: Interventions: New Studies Medieval Cult
Editat de Fiona Somerset, Nicholas Watsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2016
In the medieval period, as in the media culture of the present, learned and popular forms of talk were intermingled everywhere. They were also highly mobile, circulating in speech, writing, and symbol, as performances as well as in material objects. The communication through and between different media we all negotiate in daily life did not develop from a previous separation of orality and writing, but from a communications network not unlike our own, if slower, and similarly shaped by disparities of access. Truth and Tales: Cultural Mobility and Medieval Media, edited by Fiona Somerset and Nicholas Watson, develops a variety of approaches to the labor of imaginatively reconstructing this network from its extant artifacts.
Truth and Tales includes fourteen essays by medieval literary scholars and historians. Some essays focus on written artifacts that convey high or popular learning in unexpected ways. Others address a social problem of concern to all, demonstrating the genres and media through which it was negotiated. Still others are centered on one or more texts, detailing their investments in popular as well as learned knowledge, in performance as well as writing. This collective archaeology of medieval media provides fresh insight for medieval scholars and media theorists alike.

Recenzii
“More than anything else—Truth and Tales testifies to some of the complex and fascinating ways in which oral and written cultures interact—also, the cultural networks that extend beyond medieval literary discourse to the discursive realms of the commerce, law, religion, history, and even architectural tourist guides. It presents an engaging and wide-ranging collection of essays on the shifting topography of medieval orality and literacy, the interdependence of truth and tale-telling, and the multiple interconnections between oral and written tales.” —Karma Lochrie, Indiana University
