The book engages with major theoretical discussions within the humanities and social sciences, such as cultural theory, practice theory, and cognitive theory. The authors investigate how the various approaches to the self influence our own scholarly mindsets and horizons, and how they condition what aspects of the medieval self are 'visible' to us. Utilizing this insight, we aim to propose a more syncretic approach towards the medieval self, not in order to substitute excellent models already in existence, but in order to foreground the flexibility and the complementarity of the current theories, when these are seen in relationship to each other. The self and how it relates to its surrounding world and history is a main concern of humanities and social sciences. Focusing on the theoretical and methodological flexibility when approaching the medieval self has the potential to raise our awareness of our own position and agency in various social spaces today. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Scandinavian$2bisacsh 610 $aMedieval Scandinavia. 610 $ainterdisciplinarity. 610 $athe self. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Scandinavian. 686 $aGW 5790$qDE-25/sred21$2rvk 700 $aEriksen$b Stefka G$4edt$01589148 702 $aBandlien$b Bjørn $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEriksen$b Stefka G.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLangsholt Holmqvist$b Karen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996360036403316 996 $aApproaches to the Medieval Self$93883590 997 $aUNISA
