Germanist Urte Helduser’s dissertation (University of Kassel) pursues the construction of gender in early literary theoretical and programmatic texts of modernism mostly written by men. The reader is quickly convinced by her thesis that literary modernists around 1900 used the category of gender as a form of “programmatic self-understanding,” a thesis that she supports with extensive source material (13). As the author shows, the appeal to the category of gender in literary programmatic and poetologic projects, texts of different origin than those representing competing concepts of modernism, functions as an “exclusionary discourse strategy” (37).Downloads
