Ebook: Männlichkeit als Eigenschaft: Geschlechterkonstellationen in Robert Musils 'Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften'

This study examines the ways that Robert Musil’s representations of gender roles and conflicts are symptomatic of the crisis confronting all existing models of masculinity as ‘The Man without Qualities’ was written. The study focuses on demonstrating the contradictions and interplay between very different texts and discourses, incl. perspectives from medicine, economics, anthropology, and intellectual history.
