diverse associations of sex and blood in the Malorian tradition,
encompassing sexuality and sexual activity (and its lack/erasure) and the
significance of blood (and blood-shedding), but also the interconnections
with gender (biological sex) and familial ('blood') relations in the Morte
and its sources and later reworkings.



The conference is interdisciplinary and open to all research students and
academics.
