Acculturation and Elimination: Europe’s Interaction with the Other (Fourteenth–Sixteenth Century) ()
S. 83 - 97doi:10.1553/medievalworlds_no3_2016s83 Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften doi:10.1553/medievalworlds_no3_2016s83
Abstract: This article examines the cultural contact between the core countries of western Europe and the European periphery. With the examples of Caffa, Ceuta and Dublin, it identifies the different methods and patterns utilised by persons from the core countries of Western Europe upon interaction with foreign peoples before the period of early modern expansion. The various types of interaction are discussed on the basis of Tzvetan Todorov’s theses on European expansion in America. Were Europeans such successful conquerors because they were masters of differentiating techniques of transcultural hermeneutics? This is the key question we would like to address here. Keywords: Late Middle Ages; acculturation; Otherness; European expansion; Todorov; Caffa; Ceuta; Dublin Published Online: 2016/06/30 11:45:51 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x0034027d Rights: .
MEDIEVAL WORLDS provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages (c. 400-1500 CE, but can be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate), MEDIEVAL WORLDS takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.
