SEEING GENDER
PERSPECTIVES ON MEDIEVAL
GENDER AND SEXUALITY
A conference to be held at King’s College, London
4-6 January 2002
*Call for Papers*
Papers from all disciplines will be welcomed on any
aspect of gender and/or sexuality in the late antique
and medieval periods (broadly defined). Contributors
may wish to consider some of the issues listed below.
-The visibility/invisibility of gender and sexuality-
How are gender and sexuality are rendered ‘visible’ or
‘invisible’ through representation in medieval images,
texts and cultural practices? How does scientific,
medical or legal discourse illuminate or obscure our
view of medieval gender and sexuality?
-Gender as a way of seeing-
In what ways does gender influence medieval responses
to, or visions of, the world? How does it affect
issues of reading and representation? Is the gaze in
medieval images and texts gendered?
-Gender, sexuality and spectacle-
In what ways are gender and sexuality displayed on or
through medieval bodies? What is the relationship
between gender, sexuality and performance in medieval
culture?
-Gender and sexuality as sites of re-vision-
How do issues of race, class and ethnicity encourage
us to rethink sexual and gender categories in medieval
culture? What impact do geographic, economic,
religious or political concerns have on gender and
sexuality? To what extent are medieval gender and
sexuality historically variable or contingent?
Please send 200 word abstracts to Emma Campbell and
Robert Mills, Seeing Gender Conference, c/o Dept. of
French, King’s College, London, WC2R 2LS, U.K. or
e-mail abstracts to [log in to unmask] as

Deadline 1 October 2001
