Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography presents an
interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in
medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined
analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory - yet,
too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively
through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This
volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of
hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic
categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection
showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as
well as the work of established researchers. Working at the
vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate
the vital and vitally political nature of their work as
medievalists. Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval
Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern
trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors,
providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has
insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of
non-normative gender in history.
This ground-breaking book brings theoretical perspectives from
twenty-first century media, film, and cultural studies to medieval
hagiography. Medieval Saints and Modern Screens stakes the claim
for a provocative new methodological intervention: consideration of
hagiography as media. More precisely, hagiography is most
productively understood as cinematic media. Medieval mystical
episodes are made intelligible to modern audiences through
reference to the filmic - the language, form, and lived experience
of cinema. Similarly, reference to the realm of the mystical
affords a means to express the disconcerting physical and emotional
effects of watching cinema. Moreover, cinematic spectatorship
affords, at times, a (more or less) secular experience of visionary
transcendence: an 'agape-ic encounter'. The medieval saint's
visions of God are but one pole of a spectrum of visual experience
which extends into our present multi-media moment. We too conjure
godly visions: on our smartphones, on the silver screen, and on our
TVs and laptops. This book places contemporary pop-culture media -
such as blockbuster movie The Dark Knight, Kim Kardashian West's
social media feeds, and the outputs of online role-players in
Second Life - in dialogue with a corpus of thirteenth-century Latin
biographies, 'Holy Women of Liege'. In these texts, holy women see
God, and see God often. Their experiences fundamentally orient
their life, and offer the women new routes to knowledge, agency,
and belonging. For the holy visionaries of Liege, as with us modern
'seers', visions are physically intimate, ideologically overloaded
spaces. Through theoretically informed close readings, Medieval
Saints and Modern Screens reveals the interconnection of decidedly
'old' media - medieval textualities - and artefacts of our 'new
media' ecology, which all serve as spaces in which altogether human
concerns are brought before the contemporary culture's eyes.
Study Hall is an accessible, enjoyable look at the world of college
football through the eyes of coaches, writers, and numbers geeks.
The first of its kind, this book explores college football's
current events, numbers, and tactics from a number of perspectives.
It is an attempt to bridge the gap between the analytical side of
the game and its real-life application. So many of us love this
ridiculous sport; Study Hall gives us ways to love it even more.
