| Title |
VL ÄK: The Intersectional Middle Ages (ungraded) |
| Description |
This lecture course will explore the entangled and intersectional subjectivities of gender, sexuality, race, class, and (dis)ability in the Middle Ages. Each session will focus on a particular critical and/or methodological question and consider its relevance from the Middle Ages until today. Topics include: gender normativity (Adam & Eve); trans saints; queer patrons of the arts; sexual violence; race, maps, margins, and “otherness”; poverty and privilege.
In his recent book Byzantine Intersectionality, Roland Betancourt suggests that an examination of the past is key for tackling current debates about gender, sexuality, and race. On the one hand, the past is a model we can learn from; the Middle Ages was a time that “neither fetishized otherness nor denigrated it,” a time that “sought to reevaluate its givens by learning from the subjectivities of these people.” On the other hand, we must face the reality that discrimination, inequality, oppression, and privilege did exist and still does; “if we are not willing to call out the distant historical past for its perpetuality of social inequality, then how will we ever be able to call out our neighbors and ourselves?” |
