By assigning the Irish, under the sign of abjection, all sorts of gender anomalies based on the representation of repertoires offered by medieval Teratology, Cambrensis characterized Ireland as a hotbed of monstrous sexualities and thus tries to naturalize colonization as a necessary civilizing process.…”
