Gender Matters opens the debate concerning violence in literature and the arts beyond a single national tradition and engages with multivalent aspects of both female and male gender constructs, mapping them onto depictions of violence. By defining a tight thematic focus and yet offering a broad disciplinary scope for inquiry, the present volume brings together a wide range of scholarly papers investigating a cohesive topic—gendered violence—from the perspectives of French, German, Italian, Spanish, English, and Japanese literature, history, musicology, art history, and cultural studies. It interrogates the intersection of gender and violence in the early modern period, cutting across national traditions, genres, media, and disciplines. By engaging several levels of discourse, the volume advances a holistic approach to understanding gendered violence in the early modern world. The convergence of discourses concerning literature, the arts, emerging print technologies, social and legal norms, and textual and visual practices leverages a more complex understanding of gender in this period. Through the unifying lens of gender and violence the contributions to this volume comprehensively address a wide scope of diverse issues, approaches, and geographies from late medieval Japan to the European Enlightenment. While the majority of essays focus on early modern Europe, they are broadly contextualized and informed by integrated critical approaches pertaining to issues of violence and gender.

In der Kunst der Moderne kommt den vielfältigen Erfahrungen von physischer und psychischer Gewalt eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Die sich daraus ergebende Frage nach den Formen der Präsentation von Gewalt und nach den Gründen für das Vergnügen an tragischen Gegenständen stellt sich jedoch bereits in der griechischen Klassik in durchaus vergleichbarer Weise. Die Studien des Bandes, die aus einem Symposion des Sonderforschungsbereichs "Ästhetische Erfahrung im Zeichen der Entgrenzung der Künste" hervorgegangen sind, untersuchen nach einem Blick auf die an Gewalterfahrungen reiche Geschichte des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. das Spannungsfeld von Gewalt und Ästhetik in den Bereichen von Mythos und Kult, Literatur mit dem Schwerpunkt auf der Tragödie und bildender Kunst. In modern art, central importance is accorded to the diverse experiences of physical and mental violence. The resultant question of the forms of presentation of violence and the reasons for taking pleasure in tragic objects is however one which was already posed in Classical Greece in a comparable fashion. The studies in this volume arose from a symposium run by the Collaborative Research Centers on "Esthetic experience and the dissolution of artistic limits". After reviewing the history of the 5th century B.C. with its intensive experience of violence, they examine the tension between violence and aesthetics in the fields of myth, cult, and literature with particular reference to tragedy and visual art.
