商品描述

This broad-ranging book draws on Freudian and post-Freudian theory to offer a new and original perspective on courtly love from its origins in eleventh-century Occitania to its transformation into conflicting chivalric and courtly discourses in the later Middle Ages. Comparative and transnational in scope, it explores the role of masculinity and violence in the romance, love lyric and saints' lives written in French, English, German, and Czech between 1200 and 1400. Whereas conventional studies of medieval courtly love have emphasized the positive and idealistic relationship between the knight and the lady, this book highlights the dark side of medieval masculinity and how displaced male violence toward women and male masochism in these texts are transfigured into more explicit violence in modern horror films.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本範圍廣泛的書籍借鑒了佛洛伊德及後佛洛伊德的理論,提供了一個全新且獨特的視角,探討了宮廷愛情的起源,從十一世紀的奧基坦地區到後期中世紀的騎士與宮廷話語的衝突轉變。這本書的比較性和跨國性範疇,探討了在1200年至1400年間用法語、英語、德語和捷克語寫成的浪漫詩、愛情抒情詩和聖人傳記中,男性氣質和暴力的角色。傳統的中世紀宮廷愛情研究強調騎士與女士之間的正面和理想化關係,而這本書則突顯了中世紀男性氣質的黑暗面,以及這些文本中男性對女性的移位暴力和男性自虐主義如何轉化為現代恐怖電影中更明顯的暴力。
