New Masculinities In Contemporary German Literature - From ‘‘Native’’ To Transnational

by Frauke Matthes

145,74€ + 10% CARD

 <div><b>The complex nexus between masculinity and national identity has long troubled, but also fascinated the German cultural imagination. This has become apparent again </b><b>since </b><b>the fall of the Iron Curtain and the turn of the millennium </b><b>when transnational developments have noticeably shaped Germany’s </b><b>self-perception as a nation</b><b>. This book examines the social and political impact of transnationalism with reference to </b><b>current discourses of masculinity </b><b>in novels by five contemporary male German-language authors. </b>Specifically, it analyses how conceptions of the masculine interact with those of nationality, <b>ethnicity, and otherness in the selected texts </b>and <b>assesses the new masculinities that result from those interactions. </b>Exploring how local discourses of masculinity become part of transnational contexts in contemporary writing, the book moves a consideration of masculinities from a "native" into a transnational sphere.<b> </b><br></div>

Reading The Male Gaze In Literature And Culture - Studies In Erotic Epistemology

by James D. Bloom

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 <div><div>This book examines the phenomenon of ''the male gaze'', a concept which has spread beyond academia and become a staple of cultural conversations across disciplinary boundaries.</div><div><br/></div><div>Male gazing has typically been disparaged and even stigmatized as a reflection of misogyny and an instrument of objectification, often justifiably so. But as this book argues and illustrates, male gazing can also be understood as an illuminating, intellectually engaging, aesthetically compelling, and even politically progressive practice. This study recounts how the author’s own coming-of-an-age as a gazer became the basis for his long career teaching and writing about American fiction and poetry and poetry, canonical and contemporary, as well as about film, painting, TV, and rock-and-roll. It includes closely-reasoned analyses of work by James Baldwin, Rembrandt, Willa Cather, Philip Roth, Henry James, Charles Chesnutt, Bob Dylan, Robert Stone,Tim O’Brien, Edith Wharton, Theodore Dreiser, Frank O’Hara, Italo Calvino, John Schlesinger as well such cultural phenomena as the British Invasion of the 1960s, the Judgment of Paris in Greek mythology, the technology of seeing (kaleidoscopes, microscopes, telescopes) and the concept of ''objectification'' itself.<br/></div></div>
