The research project investigates how the consumption of human flesh(known as anthropophagy, or cannibalism if the consumer is also human) in eleventh-to thirteenth-century western-European 'travel literature' affects the experience of the traveller and the rhetorical significance of the journey it describes. By isolating anthropophagical rhetoric in western-European journey narratives, I will shed new light on the expectations and practices of eleventh-to thirteenth-century travel literature and analyse how episodes of anthropophagy reflect contemporary attitudes towards violence, salvation and the significance of the human body.

该研究项目调查了11至13世纪西欧“旅行文学”中对人肉的消费（如果消费者也是人类，则称为食人或食人）如何影响旅行者的体验以及它所描述的旅程的修辞意义。通过分离西欧旅行叙事中的食尸修辞，我将对11至13世纪旅行文学的期望和实践进行新的阐释，并分析食尸情节如何反映当代对暴力、拯救和人体意义的态度。
