Lessing's Laocoon as a prelude to romanticism -- Image and phantasm: Wackenroder's Herzensergiessungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders, Tieck's Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen, and the emergence of the romantic paradigm -- Symbol and allegory: Clemens Brentano's Godwi -- Sublimity and beauty: Caspar David Friedrich and Joseph Anton Koch -- Light and dark: the paintings of Philipp Otto Runge -- Absolution and contradiction: confrontations with art in Heinrich von Kleist's "Die heilige Caecilie oder die Gewalt der Musik" and "Der Findling" -- Self and other: Joseph von Eichendorff's Das Marmorbild.The work of the groundbreaking writers and artists of German Romanticism -- including the writers Tieck, Brentano, and Eichendorff and the artists Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge -- followed from the philosophical arguments of the German Idealists, who placed emphasis on exploring the subjective space of the imagination. The Romantic perspective was a form of engagement with Idealist discourses, especially Kant's <I>Critique of Pure Reason</I> and Fichte's <I>Science of Knowledge.</I> Through an aggressive, speculative reading of Kant, the Romantics abandoned the binary distinction between the palpable outer world and the ungraspable space of the mind's eye and were therefore compelled to develop new terms for understanding the distinction between "internal" and "external." In this light, Brad Prager urges a reassessment of some of Romanticism's major oppositional tropes, contending that binaries such as "self and other," "symbol and allegory," and "light and dark," should be understood as alternatives to Lessing's distinction between interior and exterior worlds. Prager thus crosses the boundaries between philosophy, literature, and art history to explore German Romantic writing about visual experience, examining the interplay of text and image in the formulation of Romantic epistemology.<BR><BR> Brad Prager is Associate Professor of German at the University of Missouri, Columbia.Studies in German literature, linguistics and cultureGerman literature18th centuryHistory and criticismGerman literature19th centuryHistory and criticismAesthetics, German18th centuryAesthetics, German19th centuryRomanticismGermanyHistory18th centuryRomanticismGermanyHistory19th centuryImagery (Psychology) in literatureGerman literatureHistory and criticism.German literatureHistory and criticism.Aesthetics, GermanAesthetics, GermanRomanticismHistoryRomanticismHistoryImagery (Psychology) in literature.830.9/38Prager Brad1971-777028UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9911008970003321Aesthetic vision and German romanticism4429743UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress03953nam 22007095 450 991064777830332120251008144946.09783031195075(electronic bk.)978303119506810.1007/978-3-031-19507-5(MiAaPQ)EBC7191419(Au-PeEL)EBL7191419(CKB)26089586000041(DE-He213)978-3-031-19507-5(EXLCZ)992608958600004120230203d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierContesting Anthropocentric Masculinities Through Veganism Lived Experiences of Vegan Men /by Kadri Aavik1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2023.1 online resource (261 pages)Print version: Aavik, Kadri Contesting Anthropocentric Masculinities Through Veganism Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031195068 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Conclusions: Towards Post-anthropocentric Masculinities Through Men’s Veganism.This book explores the potential of men’s veganism to contest unsustainable anthropocentric masculinities. Examining what it means to be a vegan man and connections between men, masculinities and veganism addresses exploitative human-animal relations, climate change, and social inequalities as urgent and interconnected global issues. Using conceptual insights from critical studies on men and masculinities, ecofeminism, critical animal studies and vegan studies, this book examines the potential of men’s veganism and vegan masculinities to foster more ethical, caring and sustainable ways of relating to nonhuman animals and to contribute towards more egalitarian gender relations. This book is grounded in a qualitative empirical study of the lived experiences of 61 vegan men in Northern Europe. The themes explored include men’s transition to veganism, the emotional and embodied dimensions of men’s veganism, negotiating social and intimate relationships as vegan men, and links between men’s veganism, gender equality and social justice.MenFood scienceHealthSexAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsSustainabilityMens' StudiesFood StudiesGender and HealthAnimal EthicsGender StudiesSustainabilityMen.Food science.Health.Sex.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Sustainability.Mens' Studies.Food Studies.Gender and Health.Animal Ethics.Gender Studies.Sustainability.305.31613.26220811Aavik Kadri1280295MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910647778303321Contesting Anthropocentric Masculinities Through Veganism3016741UNINA
