Politia aims to be a research instrument and platform for philologists and historians who are interested in the mechanisms and processes by which moral and political concepts were formed, developed and transmitted in Castilian in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Renaissance.
The terms will be a doorway to understanding concepts relating to medieval and renaissance politics and morality expressed in Castilian. For this reason, Politia is also intended to be a consultation and discussion tool for research on the literary and linguistic resources that medieval and renaissance authors used to transmit their way of understanding the world morally and politically, and the ways in which they proposed it should be constructed and reconstructed.
Each entry in the database will be based on a particular term. The number of instances of the term can then be determined, allowing for conclusions of a qualitative nature.
The Politia database aims to be a consultation tool which will allow specific data to be consulted and extracted which will be useful in understanding the literary, linguistic and discursive mechanisms that shape moral concepts, their evolution from inherited concepts and terms through to the way they have been adapted in different cultural contexts, as well as the literary factors that influence the reception, transmission and creation of moral and political concepts.
