Medieval Literatures as a Challenge to Comparative Literature: A Reflection on Non-National Cultural Formations

Authors

  • César Domínguez University of Santiago de Compostela

Abstract

"With the systemic approach...I intend to find a solution for the dichotomic, but not wholly contradictory, conceptions of medieval literatures as either national-based discursive agglomerates or discursive agglomerates united around a linguistic code and organized according to an open and chaotic inventory of genres and topics, in which the national referent has various levels of latency."
