The reality, however, tends to be more complicated. We are often faced with gestures and utterances that are difficult to interpret and thus find ourselves wondering about the affective force of what has just been said: "Was that an insult?" "Flirtation?" "Aggression?" Ambiguous Aggression looks at three interlocking forms of social violence - flirtation, passive aggression, and domestic violence. In order to understand their circulation, it traces their literary-historical genealogy in German realism and modernism - in scenes from Annette von Droste-HuÌlshoff, Adalbert Stifter, Theodor Storm, Theodor Fontane, Robert Walser, and Franz Kafka, covering a historical period from the middle of the 19th century to the early decades of the 20th century. Reading realist and modernist literature through 21st -century affect theory and vice versa, the analyses collected in this book show the deep literary history of our current cultural predicaments and predilections." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-152) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Flirtation -- "Love exploded on a time-fuse": flirtation and critical theory from realism to #metoo -- Passive aggression -- Twice-read love letters: the ambiguities of epistolary violence -- Domestic violence -- Home in hiding: scenes of domestic violence -- Symphonic aggression -- "what murderously peaceful people there are": on aggression in Robert Walser -- Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a German fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ambiguity in literature. 650 0 $a Flirting in literature. 650 0 $a Aggressiveness in literature. 650 0 $a Family violence in literature. 650 0 $a Affect (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Realism in literature. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Affect (Psychology) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902304 650 7 $a Aggressiveness in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800281 650 7 $a Ambiguity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806740 650 7 $a Family violence in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920571 650 7 $a Flirting in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903269 650 7 $a German fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941384 650 7 $a Literature, Modern $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000206 650 7 $a Realism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091237 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a New directions in German studies ; $v v. 29. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C183EEE0586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
