GENDER BONDS GENDER BINDS KARTONIERT (TB)

While Gender Studies has made its mark on literary studies  much scholarship on the German
Middle Ages is largely inaccessible to the Anglo-American audience. With gender at its core as
a category of analysis  Gender Bonds  Gender Bindsuniquely opens up medieval German material to
English speakers. Recognizing the impact of Ann Marie Rasmussen's Mothers and Daughters in
Medieval German Literature  this transatlantic volume expands on questions introduced in her
1997 book and subsequent work. More than a mere tribute  the collection moves the debates
forward in new directions: it examines how gender bonds together people  practices  texts  and
interpretive traditions  while constraining and delimiting these things socially  ideologically
culturally  or historically. As the contributions demonstrate  a close  materially focused
analysis produces complex results  not easily reduced to a platitude. The essays steer a firm
course through the terrain of gender bonds and binds  many of which remain challenging in the
present. Herein lies the broader reach of this volume  for understanding the longevity of
patriarchy and its effects on human relations demonstrates how crucial the study of the past
can be for us as a society today.
