Nonetheless, as this innovative study of the army's cultural representations demonstrates, depictions of the military in East German film and literature were far more nuanced and ambivalent. Departing from past studies that have found in such depictions an unchanging, idealized masculinity, Representing the East German Soldier shows how cultural works both before and after reunification portrayed violence, physical vulnerability, military theatricality, and the powerful emotions and desires of conscripts to explore a surprisingly wide range of complex and contested masculinities. 606 $aSoldiers$zGermany (East)$xSocial conditions 606 $aSoldiers in literature 606 $aSoldiers in motion pictures 606 $aMasculinity$zGermany (East) 606 $aSociology, Military$zGermany (East) 615 0$aSoldiers$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSoldiers in literature. 615 0$aSoldiers in motion pictures. 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aSociology, Military 700 $aSmith$b Tom$0749381 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645998103321 996 $aComrades in Arms$93005925 997 $aUNINA
