Students in twelfth-century Paris held slanging matches, branding the English drunkards, the Germans madmen and the French as arrogant. On crusade, army recruits from different ethnic backgrounds taunted each other's military skills. Men producing ethnography in monasteries and at court drafted derogatory descriptions of peoples dwelling in territories under colonisation, questioning their work ethic, social organisation, religious devotion and humanness. Monks listed and ruminated on the alleged traits of Jews, Saracens, Greeks, Saxons and Britons and their acceptance or rejection of Christianity.  In this radical new approach to representations of nationhood in medieval western Europe, the author argues that ethnic stereotypes were constructed and wielded rhetorically to justify property claims, flaunt military strength and assert moral and cultural ascendance over others. The gendered images of ethnicity in circulation reflect a negotiation over self-representations of discipline, rationality and strength, juxtaposed with the alleged chaos and weakness of racialised others. Interpreting nationhood through a religious lens, monks and schoolmen explained it as scientifically informed by environmental medicine, an ancient theory that held that location and climate influenced the physical and mental traits of peoples. Drawing on lists of ethnic character traits, school textbooks, medical treatises, proverbs, poetry and chronicles, this book shows that ethnic stereotypes served as rhetorical tools of power, crafting relationships within communities and towards others.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746247942417,"sku":"NGR9781914049187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51058012881169,"sku":"NIN9781914049187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530920620305,"sku":"NLS9781914049187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1914049187.jpg?v=1750965059"},{"product_id":"communities-environment-and-regulation-in-the-premodern-world-book-claire-weeda-9782503594460","title":"Communities, Environment and Regulation in the Premodern World","description":"Who had a say in making decisions about the natural world, when, how and to what end? How were rights to natural resources established? How did communities handle environmental crises? And how did dealing with the environment have an impact on the power relations in communities? This volume explores communities' relationship with the natural environment in customs and laws, ideas, practices and memories. Taking a transregional perspective, it considers how the availability of natural resources in diverse societies within and outside Europe impacted mobility and gender structures, the consolidation of territorial power and property rights. Communities, Environment and Regulation in the Premodern World marks Peter Hoppenbrouwers's career, spanning over three decades, as a professor of medieval history at Leiden University.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52674315878673,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52674316534033,"sku":"NLS9782503594460","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9782503594460.jpg?v=1762299267"},{"product_id":"ethnicity-in-medieval-europe-950-1250-book-claire-weeda-9798887196978","title":"Ethnicity in Medieval Europe, 950-1250","description":"Этнические стереотипы в Европе эпохи раннего Средневековья создавались и риторически использовались для обоснования имущественных претензий, демонстрации военной мощи и утверждения морального и культурного превосходства над другими, — утверждает в своей книге Клэр Вида. Опираясь на списки стереотипных этнических черт характера, которыми изобиловали школьные учебники, медицинские трактаты, пословицы, стихи и хроники, автор показывает, как этнические стереотипы служили риторическими инструментами власти, формируя как отношения внутри общин, так и между ними: иными словами, отношение к Другим.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53628425928977,"sku":"NLS9798887196978","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798887196978.jpg?v=1780811817"},{"product_id":"ethnicity-in-medieval-europe-950-1250-book-claire-weeda-9798897837373","title":"Ethnicity in Medieval Europe, 950-1250","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOs Lus adas em Prosa Moderna\u003c\/em\u003e oferece uma abordagem acess vel e envolvente do poema  pico de Lu s de Cam es, desvendando sua riqueza narrativa, hist rica e cultural para os leitores contempor neos.
