초록
Despite their barely perceptible physical presence, giants loom large on the ideological horizons of Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur, the best known and most convoluted chivalric romance ever written in English. Two versions of gigantology are going on simultaneously in Malory’s text. On the level of consciousness, giants are tracked down and dispatched as practitioners of anti-chivalric bourgeois arrivisme; on the level of the unconscious, gigantism is internalized as the self-destructive potential of Arthurian chivalry. By uncivilizing the material culture on which it is founded, Arthurian civilization uncivilizes itself. The campaign against gigantism thus becomes a campaign against the barbarous origin of the civilization. This Arthurian paradox troubles most narratives of complete Arthurian history. Nowhere is it felt more poignantly,however, than in Malory’s Morte Darthur.
Abstract
Despite their barely perceptible physical presence, giants loom large on the ideological horizons of Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur, the best known and most convoluted chivalric romance ever written in English. Two versions of gigantology are going on simultaneously in Malory’s text. On the level of consciousness, giants are tracked down and dispatched as practitioners of anti-chivalric bourgeois arrivisme; on the level of the unconscious, gigantism is internalized as the self-destructive potential of Arthurian chivalry. By uncivilizing the material culture on which it is founded, Arthurian civilization uncivilizes itself. The campaign against gigantism thus becomes a campaign against the barbarous origin of the civilization. This Arthurian paradox troubles most narratives of complete Arthurian history. Nowhere is it felt more poignantly,however, than in Malory’s Morte Darthur.
