- Description
- In "Ars Amatoria" and "Remedia Amoris," Ovid provides "habits of thought" that give medieval thinkers a vocabulary to describe "the operations of what we would today call ideology," or the conforming of the self to conceive social institutions as realities. Pandarus in TC makes this Ovidian ideological operation especially clear.
