Forms of Individuality and Literacy in the Medieval and Early Modern Periods

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Individuality' is one of the central categories of modern society. Can the roots of modern individuality be found in pre-modern times Or is our way of thinking about ourselves a very recent phenomenon This book takes a theoretical approach to the problem, derived from Niklas Luhmann's system theory, in which different forms of individuality are linked to different structures of society in modern and pre-modern times. The papers in this volume approach this problem by discussing a broad variety of medieval and early modern sources, including charters and seals, letters, and naming-practices in a late medieval town. Self-representation is also considered, in 'hous Elektronisches Buch' and drawings. Textual studies include autobiography in German Humanism, and concepts of individuality and gender in late medieval literary texts. Artikel-Nr. 9782503552200
