Identity can be seen as a complex interface between the
individual and society, whereby in each period of history the scope of individual identification has been
dealt with in different ways and defined by different
parameters. Conflicts and disruptions, failure and
longing for change are unavoidable elements of
this process. This volume deals with a number of
authors of the Middle Ages, writing between the
5th and the 11th centuries, whose works contain
elements relating to identity and differentiation.
These elements, if seen within their social, ethnic,
political or religious context, can be shown to
be textual strategies. The articles collected in
this volume demonstrate, on one hand, that the
awareness of the self as an individual in conflict
with social identities was by no means so alien
or little thought about as is often believed; on the
other hand, they also show that during these seven
centuries no single, continuous and dogmatic body
of knowledge about the individual was established,
believed or followed.
