Amor e interioridade no Ocidente Medieval: as cansos de Guilherme IX

Abstract

This article explores the emergence of the inner-self in the Middle’ Ages, through the study of the songs written by the first troubadour, William, Duke of Aquitaine. The work proposes to raise questions about the relevancy of the concept of self applied to the medieval period and analyze the loving lyricism of the provincial troubadours, as one of the forms of inner-self manifestations that appear, in the XIIth century, in the Western Europe.
