Arizona Studies in the M iddle Ages and the Renaissance
This series presents collections of essays on themes of vital
interest to medieval and Renaissance studies, such as
Modern
constructions o f the medieval and early modern periods; Problems,
trends, and research opportunities in medieval and Renaissance
studies;
and
Issues o f cultural identity in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
These themes
have generally been the focus of the annual conference held in Tempe (Arizona State
University) of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Essays in
the collections are both revised and expanded versions of selected papers delivered at
the conference and papers solicited from other scholars in the field. In addition to
the collections of essays, the series includes occasional monograph volumes in the
same subject-areas.
PEACE A N D N E G O T IA T IO N :
STRATEGIES FOR COEXISTENCE
IN THE MIDDLE AGES A N D THE RENAISSANCE
Peace was far from a pale, static concept - a simple lack of violence - in the Middle
Ages and Renaissance. Rather, it was at times constructed as a rich and complex,
positive and dynamic ideal. The thirteen articles in this volume cover a broad range
of disciplines, times, and geographical areas and explore strategies that were used in
the past to resolve conflict and attain peace. They examine events, texts, and images
that date from the fifth through the sixteenth centuries, and their authors focus not
only on Western Europe, but also on Scandinavia, the Caucausus, and Egypt. This
volume rests on the assumption that peace covers a spectrum of situations that
connects the personal and the political. Therefore, the papers presented here examine
not only how nations negotiated peace, but also how individuals did. Similarly,
although several essays spotlight those in the seat of power, others explore the
situation of those lower on the social hierarchy. Our views about peace and conflict,
as this collection makes clear, are shaped in part by the mentalités of the past.
Although some peacemaking strategies may be unacceptable to us today - forced
marriages and conversions, for example - we can learn from other strategies how to
transcend or modify various modes of antagonistic thinking.
