Sophie Mereau (1770–1806)
As is the case with many nineteenth-century women, literary history has often framed Sophie Mereau (1770–1806) as a muse for the more famous men around her, as a poet in dialogue with the philosophies of the various ages her short life straddled. In recent years, however, scholars have identified Mereau as an originary thinker and important coequal philosophical interlocutor. This article suggests that Mereau’s philosophy was articulated through …
“Half Necessity, Half Accident”
The transformation of medication into a proper “market” takes the shape of what has been called “the abolition of good health. “In the interest of branding products and expanding sales, drug companies now are actively engaged in redefining sickness and health. The surprising by-product of this redefinition has been a vigorous discourse on personhood and human nature, in which the drug companies play the role of the critical theorist (redefining a…
‘In Nature's Good Old College’
Although his positions on gender were neither particularly radical nor particularly representative of his age, Hegel proved counterintuitively central to early German philosophers elaborating openly feminist positions. The Young Hegelians' critique of religion offered a readymade way to critique traditional modes of grounding and vindicating gender roles. But it also, especially among more materialist thinkers like Ludwig Feuerbach, tended to rel…

Hermann Nitsch – Austria in the Age of Post‐scandalous Culture
This article uses the Austrian reception history of the Viennese Actionist Hermann Nitsch to investigate the changing function and structure of cultural scandal in Austria. Like many fellow artists, Nitsch became famous for his rejection of the Austrian state and its institutions, and was rejected by them in turn. Press, police and the federal government waged a series of pitched battles against the so‐called Actionists. Today these same institut…
The Politics of Longevity
Since the 1970s the German filmmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg has produced a series of highly unusual essay films and written lengthy diatribes promoting and defending them. This article reads Syberberg's essayistic output across media as a project of calculated self-delegitimation, which stages an essayistic subjectivity that is inconsistent, petty, and self-defeating. For Syberberg, this project is a matter both of content and of form: his films a…
Platen's Retreat
August von Platen's ballad “Das Grab im Busento” mobilizes an old lyric trope, the comparison of poetic discourse with the flow of a river, to interrogate the philosophy of history and memory implicit in the ballad form. By telling the story of a river that covers and protects a king's dead body and his memory, the ballad reenacts and re‐encodes the biographical circumstances of its inception: Platen signals the unspeakability of homoerotic love …
From Maximin to Stonewall
The “circle” around the poet Stefan George had as its foundation myth the tragic story of Maximilian Kronberger, immortalized as Maximin. This foundation myth and the homoerotic conception of community it authorized fascinated and repulsed many of Germany's most famous writers and thinkers. This article charts a much more covert reception: How did gay writers, thinkers, and activists grapple with George as a gay poet and with George as a leader o…
Joseph de Maistre and his European Readers
Long known solely as fascism’s precursor, Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) re-emerges in this volume as a versatile thinker with a colossally diverse posterity whose continuing relevance in Europe is ensured by his theorization of the encounter between tradition and modernity
