| Abstract | The session will present current research by the Bamberg Centre for Medieval Studies (ZEMAS). Seraina Plotke will ask how gender borders manifest themselves in language use (esp. nouns denoting females) and how they allow for semantic change in medieval German. Alyssa Steiner's paper will explore the role of lists in establishing difference and similitude in mystical literature. Clemens Odersky, taking the Chanson d’Antioche as an example, will address the us/them dichotomy in French crusade literature. |
