| book description |

In what ways can erotica chart the story of a nation in transition? What can it reveal about the discontinuitiesâ€”and uncomfortable parallelsâ€”between the periods of political and economic turmoil that characterize modern German history? The rapid modernization of the German Empire in 1871 led to large-scale transformations in the cultural, social, and political spheres. Exploring a rich diversity of erotic visual artâ€”from paintings and photographs, to postcard and graphic foliosâ€”this volume reveals the impact of these changes on the erotic interests of the nation. Exploring various forms of artistic production, reception, and circulation, Erotic Art in Modern Germany argues for the cultural value of erotica in modern Germany. It presents work by both highly regarded and lesser-known artists and explores themes such as legal cultures and the impact of censorship, sexuality and sexual reform, and changing political frameworks, from imperialism to fascism. 10 chapters explore diverse topics, from philological and ethnographic approaches to erotic art, to scientific developments, gender and sexuality. With its holistic, cross-disciplinary approachâ€”drawing from the fields of anthropology, film theory, Marxism, feminism, and trans- and queer theoriesâ€”the book complicates simplistic understandings of â€˜modernâ€™ erotica and powerfully underlines its enduring significance as a site of dissent and experimentation.
