Love in a hot climate: Gender relations in 'Florent et Octavien'
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
In her exploration of the role of personal relationships in transgressing religious and linguistic boundaries, Nicholson echoes the point made by Ailes (in the previous chapter) that language is both reflexive and constitutive of society and culture. In 'Florent et Octavien', the exotic locations in which much of the action takes place seem at first to function as a backdrop for a story whose focus is gender rather than religious or ethnic conflict — however, this strange cultural milieu allows for an exploration of gender norms by creating a context in which norms and mores can be set aside and different modes of interaction can be imagined, ones less constrained by the customs of contemporary society. Nicholson suggests that this work can be read as an ironic attack on the conventional languages of chivalry and romance, and possibly on the conventions of the crusade cycle itself. Here, religion serves as a stand-in for longstanding and unexplained hostility of any kind: actual differences between Christianity and Islam are characterized only in their adherents’ treatment of women. There is little sense of otherness in the depiction of the Saracen and references to polygamy are the only approximations of actual features of Islamic culture. For the participants in this romance, it seems chivalry, faith, honour, are evenly divided between Christian and Muslim, and the popularly perceived gender and religious stereotypes of both cultures are mocked and overturned.
