The concept is, however, rarely addressed \u003cem\u003eper se\u003c\/em\u003e, despite its fundamental role for historical insight. This book addresses different kinds of change in medieval textual culture as examples or models of change. A model can take different forms: it consists of abstract representations, like a flowchart or a series of stages within a development, it might be a concept, like \u003cem\u003eparadigm shift\u003c\/em\u003e, or a single, but telling historical example. In their different forms, models serve as conceptual tools to enlighten historical instances of change. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributions of this volume gather cases from a series of aspects of medieval textual culture which are subject to change: physical books, the acoustics of performed text, textualized worlds, scribes and authorship, genre, the choice of language in texts, and paleographic variance. The book also addresses problems of thinking in models and metaphors of change, as they also - as \u003cem\u003eidols of the market\u003c\/em\u003e - have the power to lead us astray if not carefully meditated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonatan Pettersson\u003c\/strong\u003e, Stockholm University, Sweden; \u003cstrong\u003eAnna Blennow\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Gothenburg, G?teborg, Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 319\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783600603424,"sku":"9783110612295","price":140.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/06efe6b277424de68e1b48ae87e4289b.webp?v=1780590611","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/models-of-change-in-medieval-textual-culture-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
