In medieval theology, enclosure is an ontological fact—we are, in Julian of Norwich's words, “beclosyd” in God—but it is also explicitly desired. “Claustrophilia” marks that movement from ontology to desire. The following pages articulate how we come to sense a particular body in space, and how this apprehension that a body is spatially situated and sensible generates desire for that body. Indeed, claustrophilia names not only an everyday mode of medieval life, but also a mode of modern textual experience.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In medieval theology, enclosure is an ontological fact—we are, in Julian of Norwich's words, “beclosyd” in God—but it is also explicitly desired. “Claustrophilia” marks that movement from ontology to desire. The following pages articulate how we come to sense a particular body in space, and how this apprehension that a body is spatially situated and sensible generates desire for that body. Indeed, claustrophilia names not only an everyday mode of medieval life, but also a mode of modern textual experience.
520 $a The first chapter of this thesis, “Close Reading,” theorizes the extent to which aesthetic apprehension depends no more upon a given text's self-disclosure than upon its material resistance to this disclosure. Through readings of philosophers of Being (Heidegger, Lacoue-Labarthe), philosophers of desire (Silverman, Zizek), and exemplary literary texts (Euripides, Old French hagiography), I show how this latter resistance, which I call enclosure, is in fact what often stimulates the reader/viewer's desire to see. Chapter Two, “Graphic Hagiography,” uses Old French lives of hermit saints to show how saints are framed for vision by their architectural enclosures, and how these enclosures work to resist the vision they invite.
520 $a The third chapter, “Spaced Out,” elaborates the role of metonymy in thinking the erotic dimension of monastic and Franciscan life in medieval Italy. Drawing heavily upon the thirteenth-century poet Iacopone da Todi, I argue that the metonymic dramatization of the contiguity of bodies and words can be developed, beyond ironic aporia, toward a participation of one contiguous term in another. “Lyric Enclosures,” the fourth and final chapter, makes a case for what I call a <italic>traherence</italic> of genres in medieval and contemporary gay lyric, literally a dragging of one discourse's confines into another. The strange communities of readers and lovers thereby established serve as the focus of the closing pages, devoted to thinking anew the boundaries and bindings along which texts are perceived to touch. Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Mark Doty come in this way to rub against Augustine and early Italian poets such as Bonagiunta da Lucca.
