Today I had two classes, Medieval Popular Culture and Historical Construction of Sexuality.

Each of my professors took the opportunity to discuss Jesus's foreskin.

I don't even know, you guys.

This is probably because one of THE landmark treatments of corporeality in the medieval framework? Was on Jesus's foreskin and how his genitals were represented in medieval iconography. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my medieval-history-of-the-body texts has namechecked it.

That sounds about right! I just - twice in one day, in two different classes in two different departments. Wow.
