    Description: This book explores resistance as a widespread motif in medieval romance to consider themes of consent, gender, and desire. Medieval romance is usually considered a genre that celebrates love, desire, and sexuality within marriage. However, moments of resistance within it offer a point of tension, where normative scripts and expectations are exposed and opened up to challenge. This book explores such resistance as a widespread motif in the genre, tracing the subversive possibilities it presents, and through them uncovering how romance constitutes particular kinds of love as desirable, shaped by intersecting factors, including gender, status, race, religion, and morality. Drawing upon contemporary work on consent, the politics of desire, and asexuality, it examines how resistance is often transformed into acceptance, through consensual negotiation or coercive force: the romances discussed here demonstrate that a certain level of force, pressure, and persuasion is accepted as a means of forming relationships within the genre, but this reliance on coercion reveals the effort to which romances must go to uphold normative structures of desire. Considering a variety of works, from Marie de France's twelfth-century Guigemar to Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, Geoffrey Chaucer's Franklin's Tale to William Caxton's fifteenth-century prose romances, this book argues that romance teaches its readers what and whom to desire, as well as how to behave when negotiating their desires, and explores the wider implications for understanding consent, gender, and desire in medieval England.

    Description: Governar a cidade e servir o rei é um estudo sobre o grupo dirigente que controlou o poder municipal, em Évora num período de cerca de 70 anos, correspondente aos reinados de D. Fernando e D. João I, passando pela crise dinástica de 1383-1385. Trata-se de uma análise dinâmica que levou, naturalmente, em consideração um contexto muito especial, vivido de forma intensa numa cidade que teve, como se sabe, um papel fulcral em todo o processo que conduziu o Mestre de Avis à coroa. Esse contexto, que o estudo enfatiza, não foi indiferente para os rumos da governação municipal, nem para os destinos daqueles que dirigiam a cidade, que, na maior parte dos casos, estiveram de forma desassombrada ao lado do mestre, não lhe negando o seu apoio militar e financeiro. Um tal posicionamento não só permitiu a esse grupo de famílias ligadas à governação reforçar a sua capacidade de controlo sobre o poder municipal, como acabou também por se constituir como a pedra de toque da sua ascenção social. O protagonismo assumido, nesses anos de fogo, à frente de uma cidade que conheceu, neste transcurso temporal, uma forte elevação no quadro político do reino, e que fez dela uma das principais cidades cortesãs, constituiu um impulso para esse grupo de famílias, em que se destacam os Lobo, os d'Arca, os Fuseiro, os Oliveira, os Façanha ou os Arnalho, permitindo-lhes iniciar ou acelerar processos de mobilidade social ascendente que, em alguns casos, os colocou no seio dos grupos nobiliárquicos. Neste sentido, o trabalho que agora chega a um público mais alargado é não só um estudo sobre o controlo do poder, mas também uma investigação sobre os mecanismos e as estratégias de ascenção social de homens, com origens sociais mais ou menos obscuras, para quem o domínio da governação municipal constituiu um trampolim de mobilidade que os aproximou dos grupos nobiliárquicos que constituíam o seu horizonte social.

    Description: Current preoccupations with the body have led to a growing interest in the intersections between religion, literature and the history of medicine, and, more specifically, how they converge within a given culture. This collection of essays explores the ways in which aspects of medieval culture were predicated upon an interaction between medical and religious discourses, particularly those inflected by contemporary gendered ideologies. The essays interrogate this convergence broadly in a number of different ways: textually, conceptually, historically, socially and culturally. They argue for an inextricable relationship between the physical and spiritual in accounts of health, illness and disability, and demonstrate how medical, religious and gender discourses were integrated in medieval culture. Naoë Kukita Yoshikawa is Professor of English in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Shizuoka University. Contributors: Louise M. Bishop, Elma Brenner, Joy Hawkins, Roberta Magnani, Takami Matsuda, Liz Herbert McAvoy, Irina Metzler, Denis Renevey, Patricia Skinner, Juliette Vuille, Diane Watt, Naoë Kukita Yoshikawa.

    Description: Dependence and loss of freedom – be it partial or total – go hand in hand. During the Middle Ages, people were bonded together through a wide variety of ties that limited their freedom in different ways and to variable degrees.This volume explores these forms of unfreedom. Focusing on both the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean from the eighth century until the fifteenth, the contributors focus on aspects such as transformations of terminology, implementation of different legal traditions across time and space, establishment and dissolution of bonds, and details of everyday life attached to these situations. Looking at the “ties that bind”, that is, the obligations acquired and everyday implications of the establishment of that dependence, this volume reflects on concepts such as captivity, slavery, manumission and serfdom, among others, and their appearance in the sources.
