Couverture : Transing the Medieval Manuscript

Abstract: This essay argues that the Roman de Silence 's miniatures perform the text's discourse on the obscurity of visual representation. Disrupting the text's all-too-easy assertions of binary gender, the illuminations trans and transform the manuscript. The illuminator found in the transmasculine Silence's gender performance a model for their own artistry. (CTR)
