PELED-CUARTAS, Rachel. GAZES: A CHRONOLOGY OF BODY AND SOUL REFLECTIONS IN A MULTICULTURAL DIALOGUE WITH HEBREW LITERATURE IN MEDIEVAL IBERIAN PENINSULA. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2018, n.74, pp.37-55. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n74a02.

The traditional poetic concept, according to which the power of female gaze is described from masculine perspective, became a central pillar in the relationship between men and women in the Middle Ages. Nonetheless, in its poetry we can find a more powerful female voice or even a complete reversal of the established social hierarchy and geneder roles. Based on a new vision of the concept of medieval interculturality in the Iberian Peninsula this article traces a poetic path which embraces four centuries (from the tenth to the fourteenth centuries), highlighting the influence of troubadour poetry and Arabic poetry of al-Ándalus on Hebrew literature.

Palabras clave : gaze; Hebrew and Arabic love poetry; Courtly Love; female body; late medieval Iberia.
