Cartografias do incerto: Trajetórias e desafios de uma (in)disciplina

Between a certain family atmosphere that creates in us a strange sense of déjà vu and the perplexity experienced in the presence of an unsurpassable otherness, medieval literature perpetually drives us into a labyrinth of mirrors where both similarity and dissimilarity may generate ambiguities, misconceptions, and illusions. In this regard, more than a challenge to the comprehension of the medieval text, the various theoretical and critical approaches that have succeeded over the last hundred years, from the École des Annales to the global hermeneutics, including the various declinations of philology, psychoanalysis,
mythocriticism or cultural studies, have proven to be a privileged instrument for
rethinking the Social Sciences and Humanities and the literary phenomenon itself.
Between epistemological ruptures and closures, continuities and disruptions, tensions and aporias, the wonderful adventure of medieval studies tells us the story of a true indiscipline.
