Beschreibung:
Konrad's "Engelhard" develops its concept of masculinity across a literary tradition that presents a challenge to modern notions of gender: Within the "Amicus-Amelius" tradition on which this text is based, male identity is constructed and stabilized through an ideal of maximal sameness between the two male protagonists. This literary model necessarily questions the modern paradigm of difference as the crucial constituent of gendered identities. By introducing an element of male/female love, Konrad's text presents two alternative options of constructing masculinity. Our paper examines the shifts and modifications resulting from this combination of courtly love concepts with the ideal of a totalizing male friendship, and demonstrates how the discourse of sameness can ultimately expand to define the identity of all noble men at arms.
