DESCRIPTION
As well as providing a general introduction to the cultural parameters of Medieval Iberia's three civilizations, the course will highlight these societies' modes of interaction and mutual influence. Special attention will be paid to the ways in which contemporary concerns have shaped historians' depictions of Medieval Iberian societies and the dynamics of cross-faith interaction. Throughout the course the importance of local specificity (for example, the differing social and political circumstances in the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon) will be emphasized in understanding the possibilities of cultural interaction.
