Nicholas S.M. Matheou deposited Methodological Imperialism in the group
Medieval Studies on Humanities Commons 2 years, 7 months agoByzantinists have a tendency, implicitly or explicitly, to adopt the analytical perspective of the central state and its imperial class.

Oscar Perea-Rodriguez deposited La controversia judía y judeoconversa en los debates del Cancionero de Baena in the group
Medieval Studies on Humanities Commons 2 years, 8 months agoLos debates literarios son prácticamente consustanciales e intrínsecos a la existencia de la literatura en cualquier lengua y en cualquier cultura, en tanto que «en último término, remiten a condicionamientos pragmáticos humanos» (Chas Aguión 2002 : 59).

Albert R Haig deposited Dialectic as ostension towards the transcendent: Language and mystical intersubjectivity in Plotinus’ Enneads in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 2 years, 9 months agoThe theory of language that underlies Plotinus’ Enneads is considered in relation to his broader metaphysical vision. For Plotinus, language is neither univocal nor equivocal, but is something in-between, incapable of precisely describing reality, but nonetheless not completely useless.
