Kacíři, barbaři, nepřátelé: Odlišnosti a stereotypy v pozdním středověku

The studies collected in this volume examine textual constructions of otherness with regard to the stereotypical representation of the “other.” Who was perceived as the “other” in the Middle Ages? How was this figure portrayed by contemporary authors, and what role did it play in narrative texts?

These and related questions are applied in particular to the phenomenon of Hussitism and its reception in contemporary Europe.
