"As the conditions for intimate relationships change with society, women have responded to and written on intimacy as a literary topic. The messy and multilayered issue of intimacy in space and time is the topic of this volume on women's reading and writing in the long nineteenth century. The relations between the geographical and cultural centers and peripheries of Europe have still to be reassessed, and our book contributes to this need. By presenting case studies from a wide range of countries situated on various European fringes, it differs from the narrower scope of publications which concentrate only on Western Europe. It is an ambitious project which speaks to a wide academic audience"--

Featuring essays from some of the most prominent voices in early medieval studies, Dating Beowulf playfully redeploys the word 'dating', which usually heralds some of the most divisive critical impasses in the field, to provocatively phrase a set of new relationships with an Old English poem. The volume argues for the relevance of the early Middle Ages to affect studies and vice-versa, offering a riposte to antifeminist discourse and opening avenues for future work by specialists in the history of emotions, literary theorists, students of Old English literature and medieval scholars alike. To this end, the essays embody a range of critical approaches from queer theory to animal studies and ecocriticism to actor-network theory. "Dating Beowulf playfully redeploys the word 'dating' to direct attention to questions of intimacy, affect, and erotics. It thereby creates new relationships with an Old English poem that has not seen a radical reconsideration of its position within the field of literary studies for at least a decade.In addition to serving as a touchstone for critics engaged in debates about the future of early medieval studies, the book also opens affect to a premodern archive and vice-versa. It addresses urgent contemporary issues such as ecological imperialism and toxic masculinity, mobilizing queer and feminist readings in order expose the study of Old English literature to a more diverse range of voices and approaches. Featuring essays from some of the most prominent figures in the field, the book provides an alternative to the increasingly outmoded companions to the poem currently available, and will be useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as to scholars and teachers at all levels.As these essays reveal, the intimacies within Beowulf ultimately escape the charged confines of the poem, which remains - perhaps paradoxically - anonymous and undated. Dating Beowulf opens new avenues for future work by specialists in the history of emotions, literary theorists, students of Old English literature, and medieval scholars alike." -- Back cover.

Dans un contexte socio-culturel propice à l’expression de l’ego, aux épanchements personnels et à l’exhibition de l’intériorité, des créatrices explorent le filon intimiste, souvent avec une audace et une crudité que leur envient leurs alter ego masculins. Que ce soit dans la littérature, les arts plastiques ou le cinéma contemporain, les artistes sont en effet de plus en plus nombreuses à décrire l’expérience (fictionnelle ou subjective) de l’intime, puisant volontiers dans les détails de leurs vies (sexuelles) respectives. Au cœur de ces nouvelles formes, l’hybridation des discours – critique, théorique et intime – est de mise, provoquant un réaménagement considérable au sein des genres, et du genre. br>Ce volume s’interroge à la fois sur les pratiques sexuelles que couvre cette idée de l’intime, l’évolution du contenu des œuvres, du XIXe siècle à aujourd’hui, ainsi que sur les différentes modalités discursives qui véhiculent ces visions (des journaux écrits et correspondances, réels ou fictifs, des œuvres d’art, des films documentaires ou de fiction). L’enjeu des textes repris dans ce volume se situe aussi au niveau de la pertinence d’un tel phénomène et de la spécificité d’un discours « féminin » par rapport à ces pratiques créatives.
