This book posits that male homoeroticism is a crucial component of any comprehensive understanding of modernism and the crisis of modern masculine identity. Cole explores how homoerotic affect - instantiated in the works of Rimbaud, Crane and Eliot - contributes to queer theory, and shows what poetry has to offer critical inquiry. This book aims to re-establish an interest in poetry by integrating question of prosody and aesthetics with political literary study. Cole used the methodological insights of psychoanalysis, deconstruction and Marxism to elaborate the social significance of poetic experiment, and reinvigorate the concepts of affect and imagination, while arguing against antiformalist approaches to literature.
First published in 2003. This volume aims to re-establish an
interest in poetry by integrating questions of prosody and
aesthetics with political literary inquiry. The broader theoretical
goal is nothing less than a rehabilitation of the concepts of
affect and imagination, though the study also argues against
anti-formalist approaches to literature.
Knowing that queer voices have been making themselves heard in
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria decades before Stonewall, editors
Gary Schmidt and Merrill Cole curated thrilling snapshots of prose
fiction from more than twenty contemporary writers whose work
defies stereotypes, disciplines, and expectations. These authors
produce fiction for adults and young people that celebrates the
multiplicity of the present, casts a queer eye on the past, and
interrogates LGBTQ futures. These outstanding texts exemplify the
glittering variety of styles, themes, settings, and subjects
addressed by openly queer authors who write in German today. They
explore identity, sexuality, history, fantasy, loss, and discovery.
Their authors, narrators, and characters explore gender
nonconformity and living queer everywhere from city centers to
rural communities. They are gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and
nonbinary. They are exiles, immigrants, and travelers through time
and space. Witty, titillating, and a delight to read, Quertext
opens up new worlds of experience for readers interested in queer
life beyond the Anglophone world. Featuring work by JUErgen Bauer *
