Example text
Setting a story in the Middle Ages seems to give film makers the licence to question the linear progression from the Middle Ages to modernity by imagining other links to the past, and to envisage alternative ways in which medieval people might have experienced time. 2 Specifically, this chapter discusses four major ways in which straight sexuality enforces straight time, and their disruption in medieval film: the performance of gender; the association of cross-temporal affective links with queerness; the normative concept of patrilinear succession; and the melancholic assumption of gender.
Shakespeare’s Hamlet emphasizes the link between love and speedy progression when he wishes that he ‘with wings as swift as meditation or the thoughts of love may sweep to my revenge’ (Act I, Scene 5). But Nielsen’s Hamlet instead is a bird with ‘clipped wings’, as the intertitle has it. She cannot chase and possess women as she is secretly a woman herself. At Wittenberg, she is reduced to giving money to Laertes so that he can run into the street to dally with the girls, while she has to remain alone standing by the window.
In a way that is only too drearily predictable, the equally valid caution about heterosexuality has only recently been issued. It is not my purpose to argue against identification altogether; instead, I want to consider the extent to which identification is different from itself. com - licensed to Universitetsbiblioteket i Tromso - PalgraveConnect - 2011-04-02 40 No Present 41 While idem-identity implies that both the identifier and the thing with which he or she identifies are part of a coherent narrative (the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries become the present and are thus ‘Early Modern’, for instance), ipse-identity means only that at a particular point a resemblance between one thing and another exists.
