MvD: in this way, is hagiography instrumentally queer as a genre - as it's about subjects beyond binaries? #imc2017 #s1720
MvD: 4) leaving binaries behind - saints exist beyond gender, or at the v least beyond rigid binaries #imc2017 #s1720
MvD: 3) what are we doing this for? Engaging audiences to do important political work for trans & queer rights #imc2017 #s1720
MvD: 2) using modern theory with attention to historical context is effective, productive #imc2017 #s1720
Closing #imc2017 #s1720 with response from Mathilde van Dijk, drawing together 4 key motifs across #s1620 & #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron underscores Ignatios as a special case - formerly imperial prince, retains prestige status amongst eunuchs #imc2017 #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron after Ignatios' death, he is lauded as father - but he has had to work for it #imc2017 #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron Niketas identifies Ignatios as equal to all apart from in terms of spiritual fatherhood - until his death #imc2017 #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron Niketas underscores Ignatios' tough task at remaining chaste #s1720 #imc2017
@romaiophron . @romaiophron view by some that eunuchs "cheat" at chastity, as acting against virtue is made impossible #imc2017 #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron focusing analyses today on 1st description of Ignatios, then his eulogy at end of tale #imc2017 #s1720
@romaiophron . @romaiophron in this Life, Niketas offers "more permeable masculinity" than we expect from Byzantine hagiography #imc2017 #s1720
Taking us way back to Byzantium, @romaiophron speaks on eunuchs & non-standard masculinity in Life of Patriarch Ignatios #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur KE: Juana herself transitions - dressing as man to go to convent, whereupon she dresses as woman once more #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur KE: in Juana's vita, she prays to image of St Veronica - Christ's face appears - then image restored to Veronica #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur Now up in #s1720 #imc2017 Franciscan expert Kevin Elphick introducing Mother Juana de la Cruz, d.1534
@thiscreatur . @thiscreatur however Katherine's power limited in the earthly realm - accessible only in hereafter #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur . @thiscreatur Katherine gains religious power by disidentifying with marriage, hetero reproductive destiny #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur . @thiscreatur draws on theories of Muñoz on disidentification in analyses #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur . @thiscreatur posits textual production as reproduction, Katherine rejects normative hetero roles #imc2017 #s1720
@thiscreatur . @thiscreatur draws on Sedgwick's definition of queerness as "open mesh of possibilities" #imc2017 #s1720
