Comparing them to studies on medieval texts is really useful. Medieval lit scholars (esp. BIPOC scholars) are leading the way here, and their work is in many ways as relevant to texts as they are to images. 13/

Though medievalists are really hyperfocalized on epidural race in ways that make no sense in relation to the current definitions we are discussing of race. Visually it can also be marked in other ways, clothing, hair, what ppl are eating etc. race making is sensorial.

It’s most frustrating to have discussions about premodern critical race when medievalists still seem stuck in definitional wrangles where multiple recent pieces have already laid out the scene and the historiography.
