Frauke Matthes 
New Masculinities in Contemporary German Literature [PDF ebook] 
From ‘‘Native’’ to Transnational

Wsparcie


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.
