| Abstract | This session aims to explore the re-creation of memory in local communities and towns in Castile and Leon between the 12th and the 15th centuries. The first paper will analyse the creation and diffusion of narratives of conquest, colonization, community, and authority, through a selection of texts written or rewritten in the 12th century. The second paper will discuss the process of reception and transmission of the privileges given by the kings of Castile to towns and cities. The third paper will examine the creation of founding memories in the towns of the regions of Asturias and Galicia from a comparative approach, looking for similarities and differences in their discourse. |
