Topographies of Gender in Middle High German Arthurian Romance
Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand
First published 2001 by Garland Publishing. This edition published 2013 by Routledge.
The book examines, in approximate chronological order, Hartmanns' 'Erec' and 'Iwein', Wolfram's 'Parzival', and Gottfried's 'Tristan' to describe "the way in which the construction of romances pace participates in... gender construction", and the way in which the works show increasingly complex patterns of gender topography. The author combines various theoretical approaches, most notably those of Judith
Butler's 'Gender Trouble' (1990), Derek Gregory's 'Geographical Imaginations' (1994), and Sigrid Weigel's 'Topographien der Geschlechter' (1990), to reach a definition of gender topographies as culturally specific patterns of spaces in which encounters integral to the process of becoming male or female take place.
