Opis

In Orientalism, Edward Said constructed an entire theoretical ediface on an imagined, unified pre-modern Middle Ages in Europe. One of the results of this has been that scholars in medieval and early modern studies have been critically assessing the uses of post-colonial and subaltern theoretical perspectives in their fields, and considering what their periods have to say to post-colonial theorists. This book offers a series of essays that explore with specificity the methodological, textual, cultural and historiographic moves required for post-colonial engagements with pre-modern times.
