Gender, Sexuality, and Modernity in the Weimar Republic From Caligari to Dietrich: Sexual, Social, and Cinematic Discourses in Weimar Culture Gender, Subjectivity, and 'New Objectivity' Ambivalent Accomodations with Modernity Boys in Crisis: Discourses of Castration in the Early Stabilized Period The End of Stability: 'Phallic' New Women and Male Intellectuals Girls in Crisis: Women's Perspective in Late Weimar Weimar Culture Now: 'Americanism' and Postmodernity
Synopsis
In Iraq to serve his country, former prizefighter Termite Watkins accepted a challenge, a "one in a million" chance to get an Iraqi boxer into the Olympics. Building a team in the middle of a war brought tremendous obstacles, but this bold American found a way to make the impossible happen. Termite put his life on the line to give a rag tag group of Iraqi boxers the same opportunity he had been given - the freedom to box., Richard McCormick takes a fresh look at the crisis of gender in Weimar Germany through an analysis of selected cultural texts, both literary and film, characterized under the label "New Objectivity". The New Objectivity was marked by a sober, unsentimental embrace of urban modernity, in contrast to Expressionism's horror of technology and belief in "auratic" art. This sensibility was gendered as well as contradictory: while associated with male intellectuals, New Objectivity was best symbolized by the New Woman they feared (and desired)-sexually emancipated, working, and unsentimental. Moving skillfully from Caligari to Dietrich, McCormick traces the crisis of gender identities, both male and female, and reveals how a variety of narratives of the time displaced an assortment of social anxieties onto sexual relations., Richard McCormick takes a fresh look at the crisis of gender in Weimar Germany through the analysis of selected cultural texts, both literary and film, characterized under the label 'New Objectivity'. The 'New Objectivity' was characterized by a sober and unsentimental embrace of urban modernity, in contract to Expressionism's horror of technology and belief in 'auratic' art. This movement was profoundly gendered - the epitome of the 'New Objectivity' was the 'New Woman' - working, sexually emancipated, and unsentimental. The book traces the crisis of gender identities, both male and female, and reveals how a variety of narratives of the time displaced an assortment of social anxieties onto sexual relations.
