		Particularly in Lebanon, as I understand things, but throughout the Arab world, Palestinians have been granted at best tolerance but never the simple benefits of citizenship (whatever that might be worth in your typical Arab country), even when they were born in the country, even when their parents were born in the country.
		And the real problem as regards those who sympathise with the Palestinian cause is that they can’t even argue their own case with any degree of sophistication – they tend to lose track and put forward ridiculous claims that every smart-assed Zionist can blow out of the water straight away.
		Fairy tales were once a great repository for the template, great literature can solve some of the residual pathologies; the Bible has graphic illustrations of the vagaries of martial fortune, though it’s pretty biased toward one particular people.

		Amongst the great writers who made the 15th century the golden age of Catalan literature, the last, chronologically speaking, was Joan Roís de Corella.
		Be that as it may, the threatened values of the end of the Middle Ages overlap in him with typically Renaissance attitudes both to life and to literature, and the conflict resulting from this contradiction has given rise to interpretations of his work as “a typical case of interior dissociation” (J. Rubió).
		Critics and historians of Catalan literature all agree as regards his leading role, and this opinion is especially unanimous when it comes to his poetry, though he wrote so little (Joan Fuster, for example, as circumspect as usual, speaks of “three or four excellent poems.”).

		In consequence, in the middle of the 15th century (and no doubt in many cases even later) the great majority of the New Christians in Spain had not yet shaken off the shadow of their past; and the result of this fact was the consciousness of their "otherness" that determined the attitude of their neighbors...

		Ullrich Langer, however, argues that French and Italian Renaissance literature can be profitably reconceived in terms of the way these problems are treated in late medieval scholasticism in general and nominalist theology in particular.
		Langer demonstrates that this literature, often in its most interesting moments, represents freedom from constraint in the figures of the poet and the reader and in the fictional world itself.
		In Langer's view, nominalist theology provides a set of concepts that helps us understand the intellectual context of that freedom: God, the secular sovereign, and the poet are similarly absolved of external necessity in their relationships to their worlds.
