Brepols, Publication Year:2022 -- SUMMARY Although Otherness is an extremely common phenomenon in every society, related research is still at its beginnings. Otherness in the Middle Ages is a versatile and complex theme that covers a great number of different aspects, facets, and approaches: from non-human monsters and cultural strangers from remote places up to foreigners from another country or another town; it can refer to ethnic, cultural, political, social, sexual, or religious Otherness , inside or outside one s own community. In any case, however, Otherness is a subjective phenomenon depending on personal views and ascriptions, an issue of imagination and experience rather than reality . There is neither one single model of alterity nor is Otherness a stable phenomenon, but it changes over time and according to the cultural context. All this calls for methodological reflection and needs thorough investigation. The methodological introduction and the 18 contributions of this volume demonstrate the great diversity of the theme and its different manifestations and perspectives. They tackle the problem from distinct angles and disciplines (history, art history, archaeology, literary history, and philology) in a wide chronological and thematic frame, using different methodological approaches, dealing with different areas (from Northern and Southern Europe to Byzantium and India), perspectives (including law, social order, the past, a sea), and diverse kinds of sources. They examine all kinds of Otherness mentioned above, highlight demarcation and rejection, aversion or acceptance, assimilation and integration, thus relativizing a strict dichotomy between the Self and the Other or between inside and outside. This volume is so far the most comprehensive attempt to tackle the huge problem of Otherness in the Middle Ages.
