Categorization

  • XREF: Directly extends the reader’s project on the Muslim monster: the medieval monster’s sexualized threat carries into Geller/Spencer-era Islamophobia. This is a primary-source breadcrumb for the manufactured-image thesis.
  • SEED: Could anchor an article on the continuity of the sexualized Muslim-male trope from medieval romance to contemporary Islamophobic blog culture.
