Abstract

JAKUBECKI, NATALIA G.. CONSTRUCTION AND ROLE OF THE FIGURE OF THE GENTILE IN TWO MEDIEVAL DIALOGUES THE CHARACTERS OF GILBERT CRISPIN AND PSEUDO-ANSELM. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2018, vol.67, n.168, pp.267-287. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v67n168.60289.

In the 11th century, the dialogical literature that emerged in the context of Latin Christianity included, among its repertoire of interlocutors, one that was always fictional: the Gentile. Thus, the question arises as to the purpose of entering into dialogue with an imaginary other. The article examines the constructions of identity of the first two known Gentile characters: that of Gilberto Crispino's Disputatio christiani cum gentili and that of Pseudo-Anselm's Disputatio inter christianum et gentilem. On the basis of these constructions, we discuss the role played by each Gentile in his respective dialogue, in order to establish the relationship between these participating identities and the intentio operis.

Keywords : Gilberto Crispino; Pseudo-Anselm; dialogue; Gentile; reason.
