| Abstract | The main goal of the session is to show different ways of dealing with 'otherness' inside multicultural / -ethnic medieval societies of East Central, Central and Southern Europe. Examples of societies formed on territory of Poland, Transylvania, and Iberian Peninsula will be presented to trace similarities and discrepancies in cultural and especially historiographical policies tending to secure cooperation of subjects living inside one political entity (city, duchy, kingdom). The question is if, from the point of view of ruling elites, well and clearly perceived 'otherness' was useful for exercising power over ethnically diversified society? |
