Abstract | The session centers on the diverse conceptions of otherhood in different genres of Medieval Latin Literature, as forinstance in universal writing, satire and sermon. It comprises different aspects of perception of the other as relating to other scholars, religions, and other parts of society. In showing and emphasizing the differences and conflicts concepts of identity and selfperception are constructed that illustrate the individual authors, their situation, and their special time. |
