Willis, Joseph.

Threatened masculinity from British fiction (1880-1915) to Cold War German cinema[electronic resource] /Joseph Willis. - New York, NY :Routledge,2019. - 1 online resource. - Among the Victorians and Modernists.

Introduction: theoretical framework for masculinity studies -- The criminal as enemy of reason in Arthur Conan Doyle's "The speckled band" (1892) and Paul May's Das gefleckte band (1967) -- Usurping the father in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure island (1883) and Wolfgang Liebeneiner's Die schatzinsel (1966) -- The arms race and self-determination in Erskine Childers' Riddle of the sands (1903) and Rainer Boldt's Das rätsel der sandbank (1985) -- Mutual destructionand self-determination in Joseph Conrad's Victory (1915) and Vadim Glowna's Des teufels paradies (1986/1987).

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.
