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 GermanStudies
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. Contributors: Peter
