The contributions undermine the notion of violence as an intermittent or random visitor in the imagination and critical theory of modern German culture. Instead, they make a case for violence in its many manifestations as constitutive for modern theories of art, politics, identity, and agency. While the contributions elucidate trends in theories of violence leading up to the Holocaust, they also provide a genealogy of the stakes involved in ongoing discussions of the legitimate uses of violence, and of state, individual, and collective agency in its perpetration. The chapters engage the theorization of violence through analysis of cultural products, including literature, museum planning, film, and critical theory. This collection will be of interest to scholars in the fields of Literary and Cultural Studies, Critical Theory, Philosophy, Gender Studies, History, Museum Studies, and beyond. 410 0$aAmsterdamer Beitra?ge zur neueren Germanistik ;$vBd. 79, 2011. 606 $aViolence$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xCivilization 615 0$aViolence 676 $a943 701 $aEngelstein$b Sefani$01626705 701 $aNiekerk$b Carl$01626706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825178803321 996 $aContemplating violence$93962888 997 $aUNINA
