Welcome to my homepage!

Hoi! I am Martine - also known as the Cyborg Mermaid - an artistic researcher and autistic academic based in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Current Projects

Dashing & Daring

For “Dzieciństwo. Literatura i Kultura”, I wrote about Neomedievalism as a Marker of Anthropomorphism in the Parent Fan Fiction Inspired by Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears.

Playing (with) Gisla

For “Women in Historical and Archaeological Video Games”, I combined two explorations: (dis)abled gaming as an autistic person and the experience of playing as a female character in Mount & Blade.

Healing Women

For “Reinventing Boundaries in Times of Crisis”, I analysed female agency and the healing role of women in medievalist fiction on Alfred the Great. Alfredian fanfiction written during the pandemic mixes neo-medieval elements with current themes and preoccupations, such as illness, pain, solitude, hope, female agency, and border crossings. The fan authors have constructed a 21st century “neo-medieval-based culture” that mirrors events in current society.
