Demonstrating the often excessive measures that pathologists, anthropologists, sexologists, and medical professionals went to present their research in a seemingly unambiguous way, this volume shows how FriedlaÌnder/Mynona, Brugman, HoÌch, and other Berlin-based artists used the artistic grotesque to criticize, satirize, and subvert a variety of forms of supposed scientific objectivity. The volume concludes by examining the exhibition Grotesk!: 130 Jahre Kunst der Frechheit/Comic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Arts, 1870-1940. In contrast to the ahistorical and amorphous concept informing the exhibition, Thomas O. Haakenson reveals a unique deployment of the artistic grotesque that targeted specific established and emerging scientific discourses at the turn of the last fin-de-sieÌcle"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Grotesque in art. 650 0 $a Grotesque in literature. 650 0 $a Science in art. 650 0 $a Science in literature. 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $z Berlin $z Berlin $x History. 650 0 $a German literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Experimental $z Berlin $z Berlin $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00824280 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 $a Grotesque in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948125 650 7 $a Grotesque in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948126 650 7 $a Literature, Experimental. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000149 650 7 $a Science in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108730 650 7 $a Science in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108731 651 7 $a Germany $z Berlin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204829 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a New directions in German studies ; $v v. 32. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A581D9E8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
