Abstract | This is one of two sessions that will explore the theme of Networks and Entanglements in relation to late-medieval debate literature in French. Papers in the first panel consider debate literature through understudied materials and approach known materials with new methodologies. They examine the process of compilation that may create debates within individual manuscripts, analyse how debates can give voice to social groups by deploying a given discourse, and assess the people and milieus between which debate literature circulated. |
