Языки описания социального в Средневековье и раннее Новое время
The book is based on the reports of the international conference "Languages of Describing the Social in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times" held on September 16-17, 2021 in St. Petersburg. The conference was organized by the Department of History, School of Humanities and Arts, St. Petersburg Campus, National Research University Higher School of Economics. The conference is an important result of two years of work of the research and educational group "Languages of Describing the Other in Early Modern Europe: Social Contexts and Repertoires of Interpretation", which operated in 2020-2021 (headed by F. E. Levin, A. A. Selin, E. A. Khvalkov). The idea was to return to the discussion, once provoked by the linguistic turn, about the relationship between "social reality" and the language "mediating" this reality, using the example of medieval and early modern material from Western, Central and Eastern Europe. The articles collected in this volume are based on papers dealing with topics related to the Eastern and Western European Middle Ages and the early modern period, in order to create a common space for dialogue. The aim of this “mixing” was to overcome disciplinary, methodological and regional boundaries.
