商品描述
The complex nexus between masculinity and national identity has long troubled, but also fascinated the German cultural imagination. This has become apparent again since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the turn of the millennium when transnational developments have noticeably shaped Germany's self-perception as a nation. This book examines the social and political impact of transnationalism with reference to current discourses of masculinity in novels by five contemporary male German-language authors. Specifically, it analyses how conceptions of the masculine interact with those of nationality, ethnicity, and otherness in the selected texts and assesses the new masculinities that result from those interactions. Exploring how local discourses of masculinity become part of transnational contexts in contemporary writing, the book moves a consideration of masculinities from a "native" into a transnational sphere.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
德國文化想像力長期以來一直對男性氣質和國家認同之間的複雜關係感到困擾，但也深感著迷。自鐵幕倒下和千禧年之際，跨國發展明顯地塑造了德國作為一個國家的自我認知，這一點再次顯現出來。本書以五位當代德語男性作家的小說為例，探討跨國主義對社會和政治的影響，特別是對當前男性氣質論述的影響。具體而言，本書分析了所選文本中男性氣質觀念與國籍、種族和他者觀念的互動，並評估了由這些互動產生的新男性氣質。通過探索當代作品中本地男性氣質論述如何成為跨國背景的一部分，本書將男性氣質的討論從「本土」轉移到跨國領域中。
