Abstract | This is the first of two panels on male-male relationships in the medieval period and their depiction in the present. The two panels bring together history, music, art history and literature to think through how relationships between men are produced, depicted and maintained in the past and present. This panel considers warfare as a way to construct relationships between men in the early Tudor period, expressing desire for women as a means of maintaining male homosocial bonds, and the portrayal of queer history in contemporary TV drama. |
