    The Origin of Modern Childhood and the German Middle Class

    Series series Childhoods: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Children and Youth
    How did we come to imagine what "ideal childhood" requires? Beginning in the late eighteenth century, German child-rearing radically transformed, and as these innovations in ideology and educational practice spread from middle-class families across European society, childhood came to be seen as a life stage critical to self-formation. This new approach was in part a process that adults imposed on ... Leer más

  • Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion

    de Jack Zipes ...
    Series series Routledge Classics
    The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives.

    de Matt Erlin ...
    Series series Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought
    The consumer revolution of the eighteenth century brought new and exotic commodities to Europe from abroad—coffee, tea, spices, and new textiles to name a few.

In Necessary Luxuries Matt Erlin considers books and the culture around books during this period, focusing ... Leer más

  • Germany's Wild East

    Constructing Poland as Colonial Space

    de Kristin Kopp ...
    Series series Social History, Popular Culture, And Politics In Germany
    In the 19th and early 20th centuries, representations of Poland and the Slavic East cast the region as a primitive, undeveloped, or empty space inhabited by a population destined to remain uncivilized without the aid of external intervention. These depictions often made direct reference to the American Wild West, portraying the eastern steppes as a boundless plain that needed to be wrested from ... Leer más

  • Berlin Coquette

    Prostitution and the New German Woman, 1890–1933

    Series series Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought
    During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of Babylon." Out of this reputation for debauchery grew an unusually rich discourse around prostitution. In Berlin Coquette, Jill Suzanne Smith shows how this discourse transcended the usual clichés about prostitutes and actually ... Leer más

    Love and Legitimacy in the East German Cultural Imagination

    Series series Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought
    At first glance, romance seems an improbable angle from which to write a cultural history of the German Democratic Republic. By most accounts the GDR was among the most dour and disciplined of socialist states, so devoted to the rigors of Stalinist aesthetics that the notion of an East German romantic comedy was more likely to generate punch lines than lines at the box office. But in fact, as John ... Leer más

    Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, and the Bildungsroman

    de Tobias Boes ...
    Series series Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought
    The Bildungsroman, or "novel of formation," has long led a paradoxical life within literary studies, having been construed both as a peculiarly German genre, a marker of that country's cultural difference from Western Europe, and as a universal expression of modernity. In Formative Fictions, Tobias Boes argues that the dual status of the Bildungsroman renders this novelistic form an elegant way to ... Leer más
