Fremdes Begehren: Spiele der Identitäten und Differenzen im späten 12. Jahrhundert
Abstract
In the narrative literature of the late twelfth century, dynamics of desire produce complex identity and relationship constellations. This study examines the narrative logics of heterosocial and homosocial desire in the context of contemporary discourses. A systematic exploration of the tools of queer and gender studies is followed by three case studies on the Song of Roland, the Romance of Eneas, and the Nibelungenlied.
