Visual Othering. 1100-1200. Einleitung

This issue of FKW // Zeitschrift Für Geschlechterforschung Und Visuelle Kultur explores the production of Otherness in 12th-century European art and literature, revealing how visual representations reinforced social hierarchies. Contributions analyze the depiction of Muslims on Romanesque church facades, Jews at Vézelay Abbey and on the Ebstorf map, armed women, and the fluid boundaries of humanity in Marie de France’s Eliduc. The study employs interdisciplinary methods, integrating art history, literary analysis, and gender studies to dissect visual and textual strategies that constructed difference. Review essays further contextualize these findings within broader medieval European discourses on gender, sexuality, and monstrosity.
