Scholarship on European nationalisms has shown that national identity is inherently gendered, as can be seen from the gendered division of the public and private spheres, the exclusion of women from nation-building projects, the gendered politics of culture and from gendered allegories of the nation itself. At the same time many 19th century European writers (both male and female) sought to destabilize the intrinsic gendering of their own cultural and political nationalisms. Moreover, the nineteenth century was witness to new and different transnational encounters thanks to factors such as urbanization, mass migration, imperialism, industrialization and the advent of leisure travel. This collection of essays, spanning the long nineteenth century from the revolutionary late-eighteenth century to the pre-WWI period in the twentieth century, explores the varied ways in which the transnational encounter contributed to or contested the gendered paradigm of nineteenth-century nationalisms. A number of essays look to debates and learned discussions that dwell on gender in a transnational context. When regarding gender roles in other nations, writers and philosophers used national differences in gender roles to achieve greater clarity in defining their own national virtues and traits. Other contributors to this volume focus on accounts of actual encounters in the form of travel writing, penned by both women and men. Travel writing thus provides opportunities to enact, critique and even transcend the gendered context of one's own national setting. -- Contents: Introduction: Gender, Nation and the Transnational Encounter / Alison Lewis; Gender as an Intercultural Index in German-Speaking Europe / Heather Merle Benbow; Fashioning the French Male: Masculinity in the Trans-Channel Debate Over Manners and Morals / Jana Verhoeven; Captivity Tales: The Convent and True Womanhood in Nineteenth-Century Europe / Timothy Verhoeven; Ida Pfeiffer's Travel Writings about Madagascar's 'Cruel' Queen Ranavola I: 'Wicked Woman' or Proud Anticolonialist? / Alison Lewis; Transcending the Gendered Politics of Culture: Emilia Pardo Bazán's Fin-de-siècle Travel Writing / Lara Anderson; Male Pursuits: Travelling Adventurers in Australia and the Pacific / Christiane Weller; Marcelle Tinayre and the Dawn of Turkish Feminism: Notes d'une voyageuse en Turquie (1910) / Jacqueline Dutton; In Praise of the Melting Pot: Argentina as Transformative Space in the Travels of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez / Paul Bowker; Blurred Borders of Sexuality and National Consciousness: The Metonymic Subtext of Gide's L'Immoraliste (1902) / Colin Nettelbeck.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Even in the harsh conditions of total war, food is much more than a daily necessity, however scarce-it is social glue and an identity marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. This collection examines the significance of food and hunger in Germany's turbulent twentieth century. Food-centered perspectives and experiences 'from below' reveal the social, cultural and political consequences of three conflicts that defined the twentieth century: the First and Second World Wars and the ensuing global Cold War. Emerging and established scholars examine the analytical salience of food in the context of twentieth-century Germany while pushing conventional temporal frameworks and disciplinary boundaries. Together, these chapters interrogate the ways in which deeper studies of food culture in Germany can shed new light on old wars.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. During the first decade of this millennium Germanys largest ethnic minorityTurkish Germansbegan to enjoy a new cultural prominence in German literature, film, television and theater. While controversies around forced marriage and honor killings have driven popular interest in the situation of Turkish-German women, popular culture has played a key role in diversifying portrayals of women and men of Turkish heritage. This book documents the significance of marriage in 21st-century Turkish-German culture, unpacking its implications not only for the cultural portrayals of those of Turkish background, but also for understandings of German identity. It sheds light on the interactions of gender, sexuality and ethnicity in contemporary Germany.This book explores four notions of marriage in popular culture: forced marriage; romantic marriage; intercultural marriage; and gay marriage. Over five chapters, the book shows that in popular culture marriage is conventionally portrayed as little more than a form of oppression for Turkish-German women and gay men. The state of Turkish matrimony is seen as characterized by coercion, lack of choice, familial duty and honor, even violence. In German culture, by contrast, marriage stands for individual choice, love and equality. However, within comedy genres such as chick lit, ethno-sitcom and wedding film, there have been attempts to challenge the monolithic power of these gender stereotypes. This study finds that, in grappling with the legacy of these stereotypes, these genres reveal a yearning within German popular culture for the very kinds of traditional gender roles Turkish Germans are imagined to inhabit. The book provides a comprehensive account of the multiple ways in which the diverse portrayals of marriage shape views of Turkish Germans in popular culture, and are also revealing of the role of gender in contemporary Germany. It investigates some key genresautoethnography, chick lit, ethno-sitcom, wedding film, gay Bildungsroman, documentary theaterwithin which questions of gender and cultural difference are framed. In new and innovative close readings of literary, filmic, television and dramatic texts, the work reveals the broad significance of cultural portrayals of Turkish-German intimacy. Marriage is a central trope in popular portrayals of Germanys largest ethnic minority. In exploring Turkish-German matrimony in popular genres including autoethnography, chick lit, wedding film and ethno-sitcom, this book reveals the fascinating interactions of gender, sexuality and ethnicity in contemporary Germany.
