If someone you love has a better life because of CUNY or SUNY, tell @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins to end the years of budget cuts & austerity. Tell @NYSA_Majority & @NYSenateDems to demand a final budget with *all* the investments our universities need. #ALLin4SUNYCUNY

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: Alyce participates in creating a mother through assisting in childbirth, that night dreams of her own mother, and later becomes a mother herself.

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: "If Beetle had known any prayers, she might have prayed for the cat. If she had known about soft sweet songs, she might have sung to him. If she had known gentle words and cooing, she would have spoken gently to him..."

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: "...But all she knew was cursing: 'Damn you, cat, breathe and live, you flea-bitten sod, or I'll kill you myself."

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: Interestingly, the moment where Beetle chooses her own name is not one where she is caring for others.

Our next presenter is Dainy Bernstein, and their presentation will be on "Beetle/Alyce of The Midwife’s Apprentice: A Feminist Version of Medieval Romances’ Noble Male Heroes". #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: Maturation in medieval romance--heroes (almost always noble male heroes) must undergo failure, experiential lessons, and tests to prove their maturity/worthiness.

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: What happens when the noble male analysis of heroic failure is mapped onto a poor, non-noble female character?

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: In many romances, the hero does not immediately succeed, but then fails; he goes out, but he must learn from another male role model and must then prove himself. Failure is built into the structure of noble education.

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: The process of Beetle/Alyce's transformation echoes the plot structure of a medieval male hero's journey.

[The Medieval Association of the Midwest @medievalmidwest]

"Beetle/Alyce" #kzoo2019 #MAM #s465 Dainy Bernstein: Alyce's maturation is based upon her maternal qualities, which might generate an essentialist view of gender.
