Ebook: Durchkreuzte Helden: Das »Nibelungenlied« und Fritz Langs Film »Die Nibelungen« im Licht der Intersektionalitätsforschung

Sociological research on intersectionality deals with the feature overlap of privilege and marginalization, including gender, class, race, nation, religion, sexuality, disability, and age. This volume has two innovative objectives: on the one hand, the development of intersectionality research for literary and cultural studies; on the other, its extension to a historical view. Two testimonies of the German »high culture« serve as a case study: the medieval Nibelungenlied and Fritz Lang's two-part film Die Nibelungen (1924).
