Abstract

Pre-modern textuality has historically been viewed through the lens of the contemporary notion of literature, whilst medieval aesthetics has traditionally been referenced to theological and Boethian models. There was, however, a medieval aesthetic rooted in physiological sensitivity, as well as a concept, ludus, that covered modern senses of literature, among others. Using Andreas Capellanus' work as an example, I continue prior research on ludological historiography in this article by presenting the possibilities of two analytical notions, that of the medieval ludic space and that of the assemblage.
