Abstract | This panel proposes to examine the representation of women and their interactions with surveillance imperatives in medievalist television programmes and cinema. Encompassing issues of identity and 'otherness' as represented in these post-medieval texts, this panel seeks to find their implications and intersections with contemporary political and social anxieties using the lens of medievalism to provide a 'new theatre for existing concerns'. |
