Beskrivning
This collection explores the intersection of gender and mobility across the Global Middle Ages. Medieval Mobilities questions how medieval people, texts, images, and ideas move across physiological, geographical, literary, and spiritual boundaries. In what ways do these movements afford new configurations of gender, sexuality, and being? Enacting a dialogue between medieval studies, feminist thought, and queer theory, Medieval Mobilities proposes that attending to the undulations of premodern gender and sexuality may help destabilize unstated assumptions about ways of being and loving in the Middle Ages. This volume also brings together emergent and established scholars to challenge an increasingly static academy and instead envision a scholarly practice focused on intergenerational, international, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Drawing upon wide range of primary sources and theoretical frameworks, the resultant essays unsettle the imagined fixity ofgender and propose alternative conceptualizations of embodiment, identity, and difference in the medieval world.

Recensioner i media

“Basil Arnould Price, Jane Elizabeth Bonsall, and Meagan Khoury have edited an exciting new anthology that brings issues of gender into scholarship on mobility. The anthology contains three sections, each introduced by a more senior scholar. … Every essay references other essays and makes connections across the volume as a whole. Many collections end up feeling like a miscellany, but this collection has a coherence and shared sense of purpose … .” (Erik Wade, Speculum, Vol. 100 (2), April, 2025)
