Newly translated literatures from colonial contexts served as the basis for their evaluations of how to contribute to a distinctly \"German\" national literary tradition, one that valorized modernity and freedom and thus fortified crucial determinants of modern concepts of whiteness. Through close readings of both canonical and less-studied Romantic texts, Stephanie Galasso examines the intimately entwined histories of racialized subjectivity and aesthetic theory and shows how literary genre is both symptomatic and generative of the cultural violence that underpinned the colonial project. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Poetic expression and its generic conventions continue to exert pressure on the framing and reception of the stories that can be told about interpersonal and structural experiences of oppression. \u003ci\u003eGenre, Race, and the Production of Subjectivity in German Romanticism\u003c\/i\u003e explores how white subjectivity is guarded by symbolic and material forms of violence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Galasso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810146800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810146808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Stephanie Galasso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897597321471,"sku":"9780810146808","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e10db795-e1ec-406e-857e-90bbcd2faa4a.jpg?v=1721374299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genre-race-and-the-production-stephanie-galasso-9780810146808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
