Synopsis "Eskapade und Beherrschung: Krisen von Abenteuer und Mannlichkeit in der Deutschen Kolonialliteratur"
The study explores the narrative relation between adventure, masculinity, and crisis in German colonial literature. In the novels, the clash between adventurous transgression and the need for colonial (self-)control is used to evoke a sense of male vulnerability and helplessness. Thus, the authors of colonial texts partake in a conservative criticism of modernity in European culture and society.
