| Zusammenfassung: | When scholars discuss the medieval past, the temptation is to become immersed there, to deepen our appreciation of the nuances of the medieval sources through debate about their meaning. But the past informs the present in a myriad of ways and medievalists can, and should, use their research to address the concerns and interests of contemporary society. This volume presents a number of carefully commissioned essays that demonstrate the fertility and originality of recent work in Medieval Studies. Above all, they have been selected for relevance. Most contributors are in the earlier stages of their careers and their approaches clearly reflect how interdisciplinary methodologies applied to Medieval Studies have potential repercussions and value far beyond the boundaries of the Middles Ages. These chapters are powerful demonstrations of the value of medieval research to our own times, both in terms of providing answers to some of the specific questions facing humanity today and in terms of much broader considerations. Taken together, the research presented here also provides readers with confidence in the fact that Medieval Studies cannot be neglected without a great loss to the understanding of what it means to be human |

Reflections. Studying the Middle Ages : historical food for thought in the present day / Pierre Monnet -- Notes on contributors -- Index When scholars discuss the medieval past, the temptation is to become immersed there, to deepen our appreciation of the nuances of the medieval sources through debate about their meaning. But the past informs the present in a myriad of ways and medievalists can, and should, use their research to address the concerns and interests of contemporary society. This volume presents a number of carefully commissioned essays that demonstrate the fertility and originality of recent work in Medieval Studies. Above all, they have been selected for relevance. Most contributors are in the earlier stages of their careers and their approaches clearly reflect how interdisciplinary methodologies applied to Medieval Studies have potential repercussions and value far beyond the boundaries of the Middles Ages. These chapters are powerful demonstrations of the value of medieval research to our own times, both in terms of providing answers to some of the specific questions facing humanity today and in terms of much broader considerations. Taken together, the research presented here also provides readers with confidence in the fact that Medieval Studies cannot be neglected without a great loss to the understanding of what it means to be human In English Interdisciplinarity Interdisziplinarität Relevanz relevance LITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical bisacsh Civilization, Medieval Study and teaching (Higher) Middle Ages Study and teaching (Higher) Mediävistik (DE-588)4038217-5 gnd rswk-swf Aktualität (DE-588)4226420-0 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Mediävistik (DE-588)4038217-5 s Aktualität (DE-588)4226420-0 s DE-604 Jones, Christopher B. 1944- (DE-588)172939569 edt Kostick, Conor 1964- (DE-588)132080605 edt Oschema, Klaus 1972- (DE-588)129560316 edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9783110545302 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
