WiSe 21/22: The Medieval City and Communal Thought
Ron Makleff
Kommentar
Mainstream historiography of the late Middle Ages long overlooked the (largely urban) political institutions that made possible the cultural flowering of the Renaissance. Meanwhile, radical communalist thinkers c. 1850-1920, if anything, exaggerated the prevalence of solidarity in the medieval city. This course takes an unconventional approach to European urban history, not only in its chronological scope but also in the types of texts to be read. Alongside (a) primary sources produced by medieval townspeople and their contemporaries, we will examine (b) theoretical treatises from diverse communal traditions (including Marx, Kropotkin, Engels, Morris, Gierke, Landauer, the Brothers Grimm) for their understanding of medieval urban life and (c) current scholarship on medieval trade guilds, inter- and intra-urban solidarity, and urban political institutions. All three types of source will be examined on a specific topic in parallel each week Schließen
