Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

A Matter of Discourse Community and Communication in Contemporary Philosophies

A Matter of Discourse Community and Communication in Contemporary Philosophies

First published in 1998. The emphasis upon differences plurality and multiculturalism has led to an outpouring of information that has been interpreted by theories such as pragmatism communitarianism feminism postmodern discourse and liberation ethics. Up to now these issues have been seen as particular and external objects for theoretical discussion. This book goes to the heart of the matter and opens promising avenues for further philosophical reflection on these topics. Having the conception of communication in discourse theory as point of departure scholars of distinct philosophical backgrounds move in and out of different contexts to offer a first-hand and in-depth account of the above positions in their dialogue with discourse theory. By establishing a web they connect distinct issues that have been dealt with only separately thus far without losing sight of differences. In the end A Matter of Discourse shows that pluralism and multiculturalism are to be found within philosophy itself. | A Matter of Discourse Community and Communication in Contemporary Philosophies

Italian Renaissance Art

Italian Renaissance Art

The chronology of the Italian Renaissance its character and context have long been a topic of discussion among scholars. Some date its beginnings to the fourteenthcentury work of Giotto others to the generation of Masaccio Brunelleschi and Donatello that fl ourished from around 1400. The close of the Renaissance has also proved elusive. Mannerism for example is variously considered to be an independent (but subsidiary) late aspect of Renaissance style or a distinct style in its own right. | Italian Renaissance Art
