Medieval Christian (Dis)identifications: Muslims and Jews in Guibert of Nogent

[...] in continuing Foucault's excavation of the complex and often self-contradictory ways in which large social entities-regimes of sexuality-are constituted, queer theory has insisted on the importance of "psychological" process, bringing psychoanalytic thinkers into the Foucaultian investigation and examining how individual identity formation is implicated with the operation of larger social and cultural forces. 1 My current project, pursuing such an approach, situates itself at a point of intersection between "psychology" and "politics" in order to interrogate the mutual dependence of medieval "personal" and "political" constructs.
