Resumen de Past and future: Reframing Catalan studies in the Mediterranean
This article proposes a framework for studying medieval and early modern Catalan culture, history, and literature that abandons anachronistic nation-centered methodologies and that instead embraces a multilingual and multiethnic approach and a Mediterranean centered analysis. This will contribute to a novel understanding of Catalonia (and other Catalan regions), and will also help to uncover literary motives, cultural tropes, political structures, and the networks of patronage and cultural exchange that are fundamental to cultural history.
