Escritura somatica

How is a body written, and in which ways can literary texts shed light on the tension between immediate bodily expressions and writing if medieval writing practices compete with the new technology of printing? The present volume Escritura somatica: La materialidad de la escritura en las literaturas ibericas de la Edad Media a la temprana modernidad explores the relations between corporality and writing in genres and discourses that are key for understanding the phenomenon. The Iberian perspective, including contributions on Spanish and Portuguese texts, focusses on the materiality of writing with a shared epistemic frame. Contributors are Isabel de Barros Dias, Stephanie Bereiziat-Lang, Juan Casas Rigall, Robert Folger, Juan Pablo Mauricio Garcia Alvarez, Miguel Garcia-Bermejo Giner, Folke Gernert, Santiago Gutierrez Garcia, Simon Kroll, Miriam Palacios Larrosa, Adrian J. Saez, and Margarida Santos Alpalhao.
