Description

The impact of the Cold War on German male identities can be seen in the nation’s cinematic search for a masculine paradigm that rejected the fate-centered value system of its National- Socialist past while also recognizing that German males once again had become victims of fate and fatalism, but now within the value system of the Soviet and American hegemonies that determined the fate of Cold War Germany and Central Europe. This monograph is the first to demonstrate that this Cold War cinematic search sought out a meaningful masculine paradigm through film adaptations of late-Victorian and Edwardian male writers who likewise sought a means of self-determination within a hegemonic structure that often left few opportunities for personal agency. In contrast to the scholarly practice of exploring categories of modern masculinity such as Victorian imperialist manliness or German Cold-War male identity as distinct from each other, this monograph offers an important, comparative corrective that brings forward an extremely influential century-long trajectory of threatened masculinity. For German Cold-War masculinity, lessons were to be learned from history―namely, from late-Victorian and Edwardian models of manliness. Cold War Germans, like the Victorians before them, had to confront the unknowns of a new world without fear or hesitation. In a Cold-War mentality where nuclear technology and geographic distance had trumped face-to-face confrontation between East and West, Cold-War German masculinity sought alternatives to the insanity of mutual nuclear destruction by choosing not just to confront threats, but to resolve threats directly through personal agency and self-determination. About the Author Joseph P. Willis received his PhD from The University of Tulsa in Victorian Studies. After teaching for a year at The University of Tulsa on a postdoctoral scholarship, he currently is employed as an adjunct professor of English at The University of Tulsa and at Tulsa Community College. Willis has given numerous talks and presentations on West German Cold War concerns: Threatened masculinity and the arms race in Rainer Boldt’s 1985 film series Das Rätsel der Sandbank; Transgressive masculinity in Vadim Glowna’s 1986 Des Teufels Paradies; and, Threatened masculinity in Paul May’s 1967 Das gefleckte Band. He has received the Certificate German as Foreign Language (Zertifikat Deutsch als Fremdsprache) from the Goethe Institute as well as a Fulbright student scholarship for teaching and research in Vienna, Austria. Additionally, he has received numerous grants from the Goethe Institute for language immersion seminars held in both Germany and the United States.
