  • Descrição: Jean Dangler’s Edging Toward Iberia intervenes in a field that has historically been referred to as “medieval Spanish” and is currently more likely to been referred to as “medieval Iberian studies” or “Andalusi studies”—even as these terms refer to materials and approaches within slightly different, if largely overlapping, intellectual boundaries. Through the application of a theoretical framework—namely, world-system analysis applied in concert with network theory—that so far has gained little traction in these interlocking fields of study, Dangler aims to, in her words, “get a handle on medieval Iberia” (3). By this, she means to sift through and streamline the cornucopia of definitions of the field and, in particular, the terminology that we use to refer to the time and the place in question. With many theoretical and methodological threads running through the work it is, at its core, a study of the terminology of a field, its development, and its consequences. In doing so, the work implicitly and perhaps even unintentionally foregrounds the question of terminology itself: how can contemporary scholarship best ‘get a handle on’ the intrinsically fuzzy nature of pre-modern concepts?The particular problem with the terminology that we use to discuss the object of our study, a problem that is still so very far out of hand and that Dangler aims to tame in Edging Toward Iberia, is manifold.
