Coon reconstructs the gender ideology of monastic masculinity through an investigation of early medieval readings of the body. Focusing on the Carolingian era, Coon evaluates the ritual and liturgical performances of monastic bodies within the imaginative landscapes of same-sex ascetic communities in northern Europe. She demonstrates how the priestly body plays a significant role in shaping major aspects of Carolingian history, such as the revival of classicism, movements for clerical reform, and church-state relations. In the political realm, Carolingian churchmen consistently exploited monastic constructions of gender to assert the power of the monastery. Stressing the superior qualities of priestly virility, clerical elites forged a model of gender that sought to feminize lay male bodies through a variety of textual, ritual, and spatial means. Focusing on three central themes-the body, architecture, and ritual practice-the book draws from a variety of visual and textual materials, including poetry, grammar manuals, rhetorical treatises, biblical exegesis, monastic regulations, hagiographies, illuminated manuscripts, building plans, and cloister design. Interdisciplinary in scope, Dark Age Bodies brings together scholarship in architectural history and cultural anthropology with recent works in religion, classics, and gender to present a significant reconsideration of Carolingian culture. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aHuman body$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aMen (Christian theology)$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aMonastic and religious life$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aHuman body$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aMen (Christian theology)$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aMonastic and religious life$xHistory 676 $a271 700 $aCoon$b Lynda L$0257213 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808675603321 996 $aDark age bodies$94118176 997 $aUNINA
