This interdisciplinary collection explores the ability of Old
French fabliaux to disrupt the literal and figurative bodies with
which they come into contact. Essays in this volume address
theoretical issues including fragmentation and multiplication,
social anxiety and excessive circulation, performative productions
and creative formations, to trace the competing consequences that
result from this literary body's unsettling capacity. Resisting the
impulse to see the fabliaux as either liberatory or restrictive,
comic or satiric, didactic or immoral, contributors assess the ways
in which Old French fabliaux expose bodily relations that elude
binary classifications. As a gathering of scholars in French,
English, and History, this volume suggests that the Old French
fabliaux form a corpus that is provocative across medieval
studies.
