Wilde Blicke: Zur unhöfischen Wahrnehmung von Körpern und Schriften

Abstract

This contribution shows the tension between the domesticated and the undomesticated in courtly literature. The "wild", non-domesticated glance of the woman who looses herself in the earthly world (vana curiositas) corresponds to the "wild" glance on the written, in which the isolated reader can loose herself, thus that her life gets estranged.
