OTHERNESS IN SPACE AND ARCHITECTURE - MARIA POR...

This conference proceeding (Sessions on Otherness in Space and Architecture  International
Medieval Conference  Leeds  2017 and 2018) is a compilation of articles written by both young
and senior scholars  who are working on the question of the 'self' and the 'other' in Christian
Jewish and Islamic cultures. The articles examine how material  'oriental' objects and
knowledge originating in non-Western communities helped building and strengthening the identity
of Iberia's  southern France and northern Italian nobility and its lineages. It is shown how 
in the perception of Christians  the public image of Jews and Moslems became constructed as
that of adversaries  while their cultural knowledge  at the same time  would be integrated into
Christian culture in a paradox manner  in which the 'self' necessarily depends on the 'other'
and how visual tensions in art and space have been used as symbols of power.
