Abstract
This article reflects upon the ways that the Breton lais, specifically 'Sir Orfeo,' 'Lanval,' and 'Sir Launfal,' contribute to a dialogue about desire and the gaze within medieval studies. The visual elements so central to the Breton lais offer insight into the temporal and aesthetic dimensions of a politics of desire. Juxtaposing the Breton lais with visual culture studies provides opportunities to offer innovative pedagogical approaches in terms of the teaching of Arthuriana and the gaze, especially as it is explored within psychoanalysis and literary history.
