| Description | Modernity tends to privilege masculine-connoted characteristics and has generated a conceptualization of human subjectivity emphasizing these qualities. Yet the costs of this conception of human selfhood are high, and at modernity's most acute moments of historical crisis, writers and artists can be seen turning to feminine-connoted figurations -- nature, tradition, myth and spirituality, intuition, relationality, flux. Feminist critiqueshave viewed cultural history as male-generated and 'phallocentric,' in need of a feminine corrective. The innovation of this book is to examine these two gendered perspectives side by side, investigating the culturally symbolic significance of gender in post 1945 German language literature via a sequence of paired readings of major, thematically related texts by male and female authors, Ingeborg Bachmann and Max Frisch and Christa Wolf, Elfriede Jelinek and Rainald Goetz: and Heiner and Christa Wolf. |
