ITAL 510 Medieval Boundaries: Space, Hierarchy, and Genre in the Medieval Mediterranean This course tests the boundaries of the definition of Medieval culture from multiple points of view. We will look at physical boundaries between different social and political entities from the privileged observation point of the two Mediterranean peninsulas, the Italian and the Iberian. Authority building and canon formation will be very important themes of discussion: the delineation of borders between texts is a process that affects both the texts we study and the critical work done on them throughout the centuries. We will also pay close attention to the formation of genres in the medieval period and to its repercussions on the formation of what we call ?modernity.? One of the main goals of the course is to maintain a focus on these themes while interrogating Medieval Studies as a discipline in its current and past incarnations. Taught in English.
