An Other Kind of Home ― Gender-sexual Abjection, Subjectivity, and the Uncanny in Literature and Film

Frackman presents readers with a study of identity and otherness as expressed in nineteenth and twentieth century German-language literature and film. The author has organized the main body of his text in six chapters, focused on othering, abjection, and belonging; young corporeality and unstable morality in Frulings Erwachen; discipline, sexual complicity, and queer space in Torlefs; transnationalism, identity, and fantasy in Lola und Bilidikid; and a variety of other related subjects. Kyle Frackman is a faculty member of the University of British Columbia, Canada. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
