My doctoral project will investigate the various significations of water in Middle English romance, specifically fresh and "boggy" water. I am specifically interested in the way water is a vector through which medieval authors explored the cultural interactions between the solidifying English state and the Celtic (Norse, French, etc.) margins. I will survey a wide range of Middle English texts, as well as poems in Old French, Anglo-Norman, and various Celtic languages, reading them through an ecocritical and post-/proto-colonial lens. I will also bring gothic theories of abjection to bear upon these "boggy" literatures, and endeavour to develop a bog theory of medieval archipelagic literature which mires divisions in matter, space, gender, and temporality.

我的博士项目将研究中古英语浪漫中水的各种含义，特别是淡水和“沼泽”水。我对水作为媒介的方式特别感兴趣，中世纪作家通过水来探索巩固的英国国家与凯尔特人（挪威、法国等）边缘之间的文化互动。我将调查广泛的中古英语文本，以及古法语、盎格鲁-诺曼语和各种凯尔特语言的诗歌，通过生态批评和后/原殖民主义的视角来阅读它们。我还将把哥特式的卑贱理论应用于这些“沼泽”文学，并努力发展中世纪群岛文学的沼泽理论，该理论陷入了物质、空间、性别和时间性的分歧。
