As these registers merge, they can produce what has been called a queer historiographical encounter (or in queer theorist Elizabeth Freeman’s terms, “an erotohistoriography”), a “poetics of intensification,” and even a “new aestheticism.” The work of these scholars has also opened up debates (some rancorous) that often install what the editors of this volume feel are false binaries between form and content, feeling and thinking, affect and rigor, poetry and history, attachment and critical distance, enjoyment and discipline. Stephen Jaeger, Anna Klosowska, Nicola Masciandaro, Paul Strohm, and David Wallace, among others, have blended the conventions of academic writing with those of fiction, drama, memoir, comedy, polemic, and lyricism, and/or have developed what some would describe as elegant, and arresting (and in some cases, difficult), prose styles. Aranye Fradenburg, Amy Hollywood, Cary Howie, C. Scholars such as Anne Clark Bartlett, Kathleen Biddick, Brantley Bryant, Michael Camille, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Carolyn Dinshaw, James Earl, L.O. Scholarship in medieval studies of the past 20 or so years has offered some provocative experiments in, and elegant exempla of, style. It was proven that the previous calculations overestimated the thujone content of distilled absinthe and the discrepancy was resolved as our new calculations are in good accord with the experimental findings. Due to the large deviations of oil content and thujone concentration of wormwood, a typical Absinthe Suisse de Pontarlier from Duplais’ 1855 recipe might have contained between zero and a maximum of 76mg L−1 of thujone, the average was calculated as 23mg L−1 with a standard deviation of 21mg L−1. The thujone concentrations in distilled pre-ban absinthe were then calculated with regard to the composition of wormwood derived from a literature review. In this study, the behaviour of thujone during distillation was studied and a significant discrimination was determined (80% yield in water-cum-steam distillation). Tests of authentic pre-ban absinthes and studies concerning absinthes produced according to historic recipes found concentrations below 10mg L−1. Concentrations of 260mg L−1 were derived at by theoretical calculations. A discrepancy in the magnitude of thujone concentrations in distilled pre-ban absinthe has existed until now.
