Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad se bavi komparativnom analizom kronika trojice autora (Fulher iz Chartresa, Henrik iz Livonije i Gerald iz Walesa) koji su svjedoci ekspanzije Latinskog kršćanstva u razvijenom srednjem vijeku na tri različita područja - Baltiku, Latinskom istoku i Irskoj. Cilj je prikazati i usporediti kako navedeni autori prikazuju „Druge“, točnije odrediti kakva je njihova percepcija neprijatelja. Usprkos tome što je svako područje kontakta obilježeno jedinstvenim kontekstom i drugačijim društveno-političkim prilikama, prikaz „Drugih“ ne varira previše - kroničari prilično uvjereno opravdavaju širenje Latinskog kršćanstva neovisno o području. Uz komparativnu analizu kronika, u ovom je radu također i prikazan proces ekspanzije Latinskog kršćanstva u širem europskom kontekstu.

Abstract (english)

The goal of this master's thesis is to analyze three chronicles written by witnesses of the expansion of Latin Christendom (Fulcher of Chartres, Henry of Livonia and Gerald of Wales) in the High Middle Ages. This expansion took place in three different areas - the Baltic, the Latin East and in Ireland. The main aim of the thesis is to examine and compare how the aforementioned writers perceive the „Other“. Even though every region where contact took place was unique, characterized by different socio-political circumstances, the perception of the „Other“ did not vary. Chronicle writers adamantly justify the expansion of Latin Christendom. Besides the comparative analysis of the chronicles, this master's thesis also showcases the process of the expansion of Latin Christendom in a wider European context.
