Beskrivelse af Cultural Encounters
This collection of essays contributes to the growing field of 'encounter studies' within the domain of cultural history. The strength of this work is the multi- and interdisciplinary approach, with papers on a broad range of historical times, places, and subjects. While each essay makes a valuable and original contribution to its relevant field(s), the collection as a whole is an attempt to probe more general questions and issues concerning the productive outcomes of cultural encounters throughout the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods.
The collection is divided into three sections organised thematically and chronologically. The first, 'Encounters with the Past,' focuses on the reception of classical antiquity in medieval images and texts from France, Italy and the British Isles. The second, 'Encounters with Religion,' presents a selection of instances in which political, philosophical and natural philosophical issues arise within inter-religious contexts. The final section, 'Encounters with Humanity,' contains essays on early science fiction, political symbolism, and Elizabethan drama theory, all of which deal with the conception and expression of humanity, on both the individual and societal level.
This volume's wide range of topics and methodological approaches makes it an important point of reference for researchers and practitioners within the humanities who have an interest in the (cross-)cultural history of the medieval and Renaissance periods.
