Abstract
The concept of 'thematic site' connects queer figures in medieval romance to representations of queer desire and anxiety in other contexts. Castration constitutes one such site, allowing us to interpret the figure of the Fisher King as queer, in the light of French and German rewritings of Chrétien's Perceval , and in the context of the Attis myth in Augustine, Ovid, and Catullus.
