Erotic medievalisms expose modern apparatuses of oppression,
reclaim histories for marginalized people, and promote more
inclusive representations in popular culture. Modern
representations of the Middle Ages-including Santiago Garcia and
David Rubin's graphic novel, Beowulf; Lil Nas X's music video for
"Montero (Call Me By Your Name);" Patience Agbabi's retelling of
Chaucer's The Miller's Tale, entitled "The Kiss;" and some BDSM
(Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and
Masochism) practices-challenge pervasive power structures that
privilege heterosexual male dominance commonly associated with
medieval origins in popular culture. This comparative study between
medieval and modern texts foregrounds the sexual gratification of
people who are typically excluded from representations of the
Middle Ages, specifically women, people of color, and LGBTQ+
individuals. Erotic displays of marginalized people in medieval
contexts disrupt prevalent forms of oppression rooted in
institutions that censor human experiences and they direct sexual
desires towards social justice.
