Volume focusing on a multitude of incarnations and meanings of ‘masculinity’ in German culture from medieval times to the present.
Intended to encourage and disseminate lively and open discussion of themes pertinent to German Studies, viewed from all angles — literary, artistic, musical, theoretical —
Edinburgh German Yearbook takes particular interest in cultural problems and issues arising out of politics and history. Each year,
EGYB invites scholarly contributions on a topic of current challenge to German Studies. No other yearbook covers the entire field of German Studies while addressing a focused theme in each issue; by doing so,
EGYB aims to encourage real debate around the issues at hand. Volume 2 examines the meanings and significance of ‘masculinity’ in German culture, from medieval mystics to the cultural impact of young male immigrants living in Germany today. Other topics include medieval masculinity, the heroic Germanic ideal in the 16th and 17th centuries, masculinity in fairy tales, Jewishness andthe masculine, toys for boys in Wilhelmine Germany, the science of sexology, and the masculine as it appears in photography, fashion, army magazines, terrorism, and prison culture.
