- Description
- The writer and intellectual Lou Andreas-Salomé fascinates because of her associations with Nietzsche, Rilke, and Freud and because she was active in the cultural and intellectual life of late 19th- and early 20th-century Germany and Austria. This study analyzes how Andreas-Salomé depicted women in her fictional works just as feminism was emerging, revealing a complex engagement with questions of narrative and identity. More than mere thematic explorations of women's changing roles in society, her works investigate the concept of identity and its relationship to gender, sexuality, and narrative representation. She is as concerned with a cultural crisis of femininity and masculinity as with the identity crises of her individual women characters.

- Description
- Warlike women are a recurring phenomenon in German literature and culture since 1500. Amazons, terrorists, warrior women : this volume of essays analyzes ideas and portrayals of these figures in the visual arts, society, media, and scholarship, always against the backdrop of Germany's development as a culture and as a nation. The contributors look for patterns in the historical portrayal of warlike women, asking the questions: What cultural signals are sent when women are shown occupying men's spaces by dressing as warriors or in men's clothing? What can legitimize the woman who bears arms? From what is the erotic potential of images linking women and violence derived?

- Description
- The book examines nonfiction feminist texts as well as novels by Helene Hegemann, Caitlin Moran, Charlotte Roche, Emma Jane Unsworth, Kate Zambreno, and Juli Zeh, among others. These texts illustrate the complex processes by which female subjects become women today. Failure, refusal, disgust, and anger are striking features of these becomings. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed and thinkers including Simone de Beauvoir, Rosi Braidotti and Elizabeth Grosz, the book demonstrates the significance of willfulness for understandings and assertions of female agency.
