“…El aporte medieval a la teorización de los sentidos 13 por parte de los autores patrísticos y sistematizados por los teólogos fue la individualización de la categoría de los llamados 'sentidos espirituales' o del espíritu (sensus spirituales). Para reconciliar estas dos visiones se propuso un proceso de trasformación de la interpretación de los datos sensoriales a través de la educación de los sentidos (Newhauser, 2014). Esta instrucción se realizó de diversas formas.…”

El proceso de construcción del poder regio castellano, a lo largo de la Baja Edad Media, reviste múltiples aristas presentes en la ingente bibliografía desarrollada durante el siglo pasado y en las primeras décadas de la actual centuria. En esta oportunidad, proponemos reflexionar sobre la naturaleza sensorial de las relaciones que estableció el monarca con sus súbditos, puesto que el poder no solo se ve, sino que se siente y expresa en la corporeidad. Esta faceta sensorial del poder fue un punto de atención destacado en la labor legislativa codificada en las Siete Partidas de Alfonso X. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este trabajo será realizar un primer acercamiento a las mediaciones que establecen los sentidos en las relaciones entre el pueblo y su rey, centrándonos especialmente en la Segunda Partida de la obra alfonsí, teniendo como base las conceptualizaciones aristotélicas sobre la sensorialidad. Ello nos permitirá examinar cómo se elaboró un esquema particular del microcosmos del poder real.

“…Medieval times have also been focus of research on the senses, as shown by Rodríguez (2021c), Coronado Schwindt (2020), Ortúzar Escudero (2016), Newhauser (2014 and Palazzo (2014), to mention a few referents in the field. Their works account for the areas made up of the ways of feeling, perceiving and getting excited in the Middle Ages and their manifestations in various sources of the period.…”

In medieval times, the literary nature of the works, including written ones, were determined by contextual elements such as the acoustic and momentary channel of communication along with the domain of gestur-al, instrumental and vocal codes. These elements conditioned writers and performers when they improved and perfected their capacities and perfor-mance, on which the message as a whole depended. Today the media and entertainment industry also use complex and rich connections between verbal and visual signs to produce highly symbolic messages through im-aginary re-enactments of the past. The wide range of discursive productions of the Middle Ages can be ana-lysed through the study of the elements and factors that become carriers of meanings and the way in which they do so. We consider that a comparable perspective is also suitable for contemporary semiotic practices that, when interpreting documentary sources of various types and incorporating them into suitable fictional formats for the general public, constitute playful re-configurations of the historical, literary and fantastic Middle Ages. Accordingly, this paper attempts to examine certain components of mass culture which have transformed narratives, characters and fictional worlds, distinctive of the Middle Ages, into communicative and semiotic practices reinterpreting historical and literary texts as a way of reflecting on people, social life and its problems in the present world. It starts from con-sidering that semantic plurality and diachronic bases of the idea of body and senses enable an interdisciplinary and comparative study, in order to understand their historicity, their ideological effect and the innumerable aesthetic possibilities which they promote in different areas of culture. The reflections take into account the bodily and sensory aspects of the Middle Ages selected by series, films and video games with an impact, as signifi-cant elements, on current cultural orientations and attitudes.

“…The production of and traffic in sensory knowledge, or sensologies, is central to relations of sensuous governance. Drawing upon the work of Newhauser (2014, cf. Holmberg 2014, sensologies denote specific forms of sensory knowing, anchored in the body logics of their time and place, that make the sensorium amenable to regulatory action.…”
