7 - The Saints, Satellites, and Sass Series, Part 3: Caranog (N.A., 1100 CE)

<p>Welcome to 🌈Queering Arthur👑, our seventh episode of the podcast, and third installment of the Saints, Satellites, and Sass series on Arthurian Hagiographies. Join us in exploring ✨queer interpretations🧠 of 🫅🏾The Life of St. Caranog📜. The Context for the episodes in this series was covered in previous episodes, but a deeper dive is available in member’s only episodes, available to knights of the virtual round table. Discussion includes: historical connection between chivalry, spiritual awakenings, and the ‘stay woke’ phenomenon; the importance and history of Sir Robert Cotton’s collection of medieval British manuscripts, including the present hagiography and Beowulf; The British Library and handling ancient manuscripts; and the English language over time, past, present, and future. Analysis in the episode includes: How conceptualizing phenomena as spectrums dismantles static categories, using rainbows as an example; gender as a technology; phallic objects in architecture according to Henri Lefebvre; yonic structures as the source of the phallic architecture; Andrew Breeze’s analysis of the Harbor of Guellit as an example of queering by challenging accepted narratives.</p><p>Find all our social media links at www.queeringarthur.com.</p><p>Queerthurs!

Is the portrayal of Arthur as an undisciplined and foiled character consonant or dissonant with traditional Arthurian hero narratives?</p><p>3. Does the connection between chivalry and progressive values in the text require further support or if it transcends typical interpretations of both concepts.</p><p>4. How is the modern term 'woke' is used to draw parallels to historical awakenings and progressive values?</p><p>5. How does the conversation about Cotton’s library and the cataloging system shed light on the preservation and organization of medieval texts?</p><p>6.
