Abstract

The traditional poetic concept, according to which power of female gaze is described from masculine perspective, became a central pillar in the relationship between men and women in the Middle Ages. Nonetheless, in its poetry we can find a more powerful female voice or even a complete reversal of the established social hierarchy. Based on a new vision of the concept of medieval interculturality in the Iberian Peninsula this article traces a poetic path which embraces four centuries (from the tenth to the fourteenth centuries), highlighting the influence of troubadour poetry and Arabic poetry of al- Ándalus on Hebrew literature.
