{"product_id":"queer-iberia-josiah-blackmore-9780822323495","title":"Queer Iberia: Sexualities, Cultures, and Crossings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance","description":"Martyred saints, Moors, Jews, viragoes, hermaphrodites, sodomites, kings, queens, and cross-dressers comprise the fascinating mosaic of historical and imaginative figures unearthed in \u003ci\u003eQueer Iberia\u003c\/i\u003e. The essays in this volume describe and analyze the sexual diversity that proliferated during the period between the tenth and the sixteenth centuries when political hegemony in the region passed from Muslim to Christian hands.\u003cbr\u003eTo show how sexual otherness is most evident at points of cultural conflict, the contributors use a variety of methodologies and perspectives and consider source materials that originated in Castilian, Latin, Arabic, Catalan, and Galician-Portuguese. Covering topics from the martydom of Pelagius to the exploits of the transgendered Catalina de Erauso, this volume is the first to provide a comprehensive historical examination of the relations among race, gender, sexuality, nation-building, colonialism, and imperial expansion in medieval and early modern Iberia. Some essays consider archival evidence of sexual otherness or evaluate the use of \"deviance\" as a marker for cultural and racial difference, while others explore both male and female homoeroticism as literary-aesthetic discourse or attempt to open up canonical texts to alternative readings.\u003cbr\u003ePositing a queerness intrinsic to Iberia's historical process and cultural identity, \u003ci\u003eQueer Iberia\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge the field of Iberian studies while appealing to scholars of medieval, cultural, Hispanic, gender, and gay and lesbian studies.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
