In the writings of Aimée Duc and Lou Andreas-Salomé, Switzerland figured as a place for women in particular to escape the sexual confines of Germany. The sexual ethnologies of Ferdinand Karsch-Haack and the popular novels of Karl May linked nonnormative sexualities with the colonies and, in particular, with German Samoa. Same-sex desire was perhaps the most centrifugal sexuality of all, as so-called Greek love migrated to numerous places and peoples: a curious connection between homosexuality and Hungarian nationalism emerged in the writings of Adalbert Stifter and Karl Maria Kerbeny; Arnold Zweig built on a long and extremely well-developed gradation of associating homosexuality with Jewishness, projecting the entire question of same-sex desire onto the physical territory of Palestine; and Thomas Mann, of course, famously associated male-male desire with the fantastically liminal city of Venice, lying between land and sea, Europe and the Orient. As Germany-and German-speaking Europe-became a fertile ground for homosexual subcultures in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, what factors helped construct the sexuality that emerged? Peripheral Desires examines how and why the political, scientific and literary culture of the region produced the modern vocabulary of sexuality. 410 0$aHaney Foundation series. 606 $aGerman literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 606 $aHomosexuality and literature 606 $aHomosexuality$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aHomosexuality$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature. 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory 615 0$aHomosexuality$xHistory 676 $a830.9/353 686 $aGM 1600$2rvk 700 $aTobin$b Robert Deam$01038333 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466908903321 996 $aPeripheral desires$92459855 997 $aUNINA
