HIST-UA 197 - Gendering the Middle Ages

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Takes up questions about the identity and agency of women and about the performative nature of gender in Western culture and society during the Middle Ages. In exploring medieval texts and images, and the interpretive body of scholarship that made it its task to recover and to make visible ways that medieval women acted in history, we pay specific attention to interactions between women and men in order to understand how assumptions about male and female nature informed and gendered the very possibility of action, expression, empowerment, and subjectivity.
