CLCS Medieval on MLA Commons 11 months, 2 weeks ago
This essay explores Dante Alighieri’s notion of projectile motion in relation to spiritual fulfillment in the first canto of Paradiso.

This chapter examines the plight of Fra’ Alberigo in light of philosophical questions of personal identity and embodiment. I argue that Fra’ Alberigo’s individuality and his punishment in Tolomea provides insight into Dante’s unique interpretation of the complex relationship between body and spirit and the issue of material continuity in the…[Read more]

CLCS Medieval on MLA Commons 1 year ago
Juan Carlos buscó decididamente un modelo común mediterráneo que permitiera explicar que muchas de las características de los llamados tradicionalmente “arte visigodo” o “arte mozárabe” eran independientes de la instauración de la dinastía Omeya en al-Andalús y, de manera mucho más profunda, cómo esa importancia e influencia que se concede al art…[Read more]

Alex Mueller deposited Digitizing Chaucerian Debate in the group
CLCS Medieval on MLA Commons 1 year, 1 month ago
To encourage classroom dialectic I often turn to the “quitting” structure of “The Canterbury Tales,” within which pilgrims offer requitals of previous tales that range from exuberant acclamations to
raucous attacks. Within these extremes lie productive forms of correction that emerge as subtle critiques, opposing arguments, and timely (or…[Read more] -

Using the evidence of the aural as intrinsic to mester de clerecía’s mode of diffusion and reception as point of departure, this chapter examines sound as a wider and complex system of references, actualizations, and allusions that articulate and structure the mode in its composition, as part of its tools to effect meaning. Music and song play ob…[Read more]
