As audience interest in late-night talk shows and glossy print magazines dwindles, a group of internet-based series now provides celebrities the platform to promote their newest project and allegedly “reveal” more of themselves. These series use different techniques to produce revelatory moments tailor-made for social media circulation. First We Feast/Complex’s Hot Ones and Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date maximize cringe, whether by the guest’s physical pain generated by spicy wings or their interpersonal torment produced by Dimoldenberg’s awkward questioning.

updated: 
Monday, July 22, 2024 - 12:31pm
Christopher T. Richards
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, September 15, 2024

How does medieval art define queerness and transness, and how do gendered performances of bodies and images shape one another? How do medieval sexualities and genders, fluid and porous, explicate and trouble modern ones? We invite papers that explore queer methodologies and medieval art, including visual cultures of animals, the humoral body, and the non-human. After the success of 2024’s Queer(ing) Medieval Art panels, this new panel seeks to expand our scope: we especially encourage papers examining secular, Jewish, or Islamic perspectives, architecture, non-elite archives, and/or queer intersections with race, religion, and ethnicity as visual/material expressions.
