Robert Tobin and the longue durée of German LGBTQ+ history
German was the language that helped me express myself, organize my thoughts, name my desires, and develop my sexuality. Raised as an American speaking English, I pivoted to this foreign language, the literature written in that language (and for me, literature is often language about language), and critical language to discuss this literature—an intricate web of textuality—while coming of age and coming to terms with my own identity as a white gay…
Hesitancy and Hovering
What accounts for the hesitancy many viewers, including scholars and students, feel in assessing the relationship between von Bernburg and Manuela? Are they lesbians? Is the student-teacher dynamic inappropriate? Is von Bernburg merely a mother figure to Manuela? How can Manuela, depicted as a child, even express erotic longings? This article attempts to counter such questions with an eye to irony, camp, melodrama, and fetishism—starting with the…

Irena Vrkljan’s Autobiographical Prose between Zagreb and Berlin
Irena Vrkljan cites Frantisek Halas, the twentieth-century Czech poet (1901–1949), to head one of the chapters in Marina, im Gegenlicht, a semi-autobiographical novel that combines reflections on her own life story with that of the Russian poet Marina Tsvetayeva (1982–1941). Like Tsvetayeva, with whose itinerant life she expresses an affinity, Vrkljan has lived between cultures, in her case between Croatia and Germany, in a liminal space she asso…

Where is the Animal after Post-Humanism? Sue Coe and the Art of Quivering Life Alice Kuzniar (bio) Nichts so ausdrucksvoll wie die Augen von Tieren—Menschenaffen—, die objektiv darüber zu trauern scheinen, dass sie keine Menschen sind. There is nothing so expressive as the eyes of animals—especially apes—which seem objectively to mourn that they are not human. (Adorno 1970, 172/113)1 Die Philosophie ist eigentlich dazu da, das einzulösen, was im …

A Higher Language
Around 1800 Philipp Otto Runge fashioned with scissors and paper a dog gazing up at a full moon. Significantly, the dog holds his mouth closed, as if, were he to howl, we might think him a wolf in the wild. Instead he is a domesticated dog, to the point that he even communicates human value: like a true Romantic, he raises his eyes silently to the sky, his chest filled with a longing for transcendence. Art critic Robert Rosenblum has written that…
The Queer German Cinema
Aesthetic Homosociality in Wackenroder and Tieck
Analyzes two foundational texts of early Romanticism in Germany, the Herzensergiessungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders and Phantasien uber die Kunst, fur Freunde der Kunst. Examines the narrative framework created through the functions of these works' narrators as both narrators and characters in their own narration, to reveal new dimensions to old, long recognized aesthetic debates in the texts. Also discusses authorship questions, and con…

The Queer German Cinema
Since the Weimar era, German cinema has played a leading role in the innovation of gay and lesbian cinema, with the tantalizing sexual illegibility and gender instability of German films of the 1920s anticipating the queer sensibilities of the 1990s. From such cross-dressing Weimar comedies as Viktor und Victoria to the transgender fantasies of Ulrike Ottinger, Monika Treut, and Hans Scheirl, this filmic tradition explores the unconventional erot…

The Crystal Revenge”
The Faces of Physiognomy
Ephemeral Inscriptions
In Wenders's film Wings of Desire a scene takes place in the Berlin National Library where angels walk past the library patrons, overhearing the hushed chorus of their silent readings. Although individual voices only occasionally rise above the general choir, the screenplay reveals in detail each person's elaborate script. One of the voices reads from Rainer Maria Rilke's poem to Lulu Albert-Lazard that begins Nachtens will ich mit dem Engel rede…

Signs of the Future
In a 1774 letter to Lavater, Goethe wrote a poem later incorporated in the Physiognomische Fragmente. It concludes with these words apostrophizing nature: `Wirst alle deine Krafte mir / In meinem Sinn erheitern / Und dieses enge Dasein hier / Zur Ewigkeit erweitern. During the period following Sophie's death in March 1797, Novalis, steeped in Lavater's writings,' similarly writes: `Getrost, das Leben schreitet / Zum ewgen Leben hin; / Von innrer …
The Bounds of the Infinite
In the graveyard-scene of the final, sixteenth vigil of Bonaventura's Nachtwachen, the narrator ridicules a poet whom he dreams of unsuccessfully trying to compose a Gedicht tiber die Unsterblichkeit. The poet prepares to write of the Last Judgment but to no avail: Eben war er im Begriffe alle Tote zu erwecken, da schien es als ob etwas Unsichtbares seine Hand hielte.' The poet in the graveyard, unable to raise the dead and his el1an deflated, po…

IN BOTH Idee zu einer allgemeinen Geschichte in weltbiurgerlicher Absicht ['Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View'] and Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der blossen Vernunft ['Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone'],1 Kant speaks of philosophic chiliasm. This striking juxtaposition of the secular and sacred has, in the last thirty-five years, provoked a major philosophical discussion on the significance of secularizati…

Lessing and the Enlightenment
This essay collection grew out of a Hofstra University conference on the life, works, and influence of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, the eighteenth-century German playwright, critic, and philosopher who essentially established a new national literature in Germany during the Enlightenment. The volume is divided into two main sections, in which various scholars confront and reevaluate two contrasting aspects of Lessing's character; the irrational poet …
