"Since the Weimar era, German cinema has played a leading role in the innovation of gay and lesbian cinema, with the tantalizing sexual illegibility and gender instability of German films of the 1920s anticipating the queer sensibilities of the 1990s. From such cross-dressing Weimar comedies as Viktor und Victoria to the transgender fantasies of Ulrike Ottinger, Monika Treut, and Hans Scheirl, this filmic tradition explores the unconvent ..."

""The works of the German Romantic authors Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg) and Friedrich Hölderlin were profoundly affected by their loss of belief in endings and ultimacies. They wrote during an age of intellectual crisis, when apocalyptic expectations had reached their pitch and the volatile ideas generated by the French Revolution seemed to challenge even the passing of time itself. In Delayed Endings, Alice A. Kuzniar demonstrates ..."

"However, it isn't truly right for television, a medium that by nature deflates the
dualism of the orthodox detective through its unorthodox normalization of shifts
and slippage — and thus its normalization of the vicissitudes of the flesh.3 The
popularity of Dale Cooper is a tacit admission that on a visceral level the
television audience knows how wrong the traditional detective is in that medium.
As we shall see, Dale Cooper made ..."

"When Goethe christened the 1700's "the Century of Winckelmann" and Kant dubbed it "the Century of Frederick the Great," they invoked two notorious figures in gay history. This collection of twelve essays reclaims "the Age of Goethe"―To call upon a literary designation of roughly the same period - as a time when same-sex erotic attraction suffused artistic production from Winckelmann's art treatises and Goethe's plays to Friedrich Schleg ..."

""The Queer German Cinema will take its palce with other key works of German film studies scholarship . . . .It will also change the way we think about film, Germany, and gender."
"Few movie stars have meant as many things to as many different audiences as the iconic Marlene Dietrich. The actress-chanteuse had a career of some seventy years: one that included not only classical Hollywood cinema and the concert hall but also silent film in Weimar Germany, theater, musical comedy, vaudeville, army camp shows, radio, recordings, television, and even the circus. Having renounced and left Nazi Germany, assumed American ..."
