- W4205123034 abstract "2 8 Reviews or, as Dove also concedes, the sheer wealth of referencing to which even a battery of notes could not do justice. Mayr?cker's is self-consciously difficult poetry, in all senses, and she is lucky to have found inDove a translator alive to those complexities but also so richly in tune with the poetry at their heart. This volume is a virtuoso achievement and brings a unique voice into the English language. New College, Oxford Karen Leeder Die verschlagene Lust. Zur ?sthetischen Subversion imMasochismus. By Torben Lohm?ller. (Probleme der Dichtung 39). Heidelberg: Winter. 2006. 28,00. isbn 978-3-8253-5245-5. Since the publication of Deleuze's seminal essay on Sacher-Masoch in 1967, and particularly in the last two decades, masochism has become a subject of academic exploration increasingly independent of sado-masochism and other concepts that stress similarities rather than differences between perversions. In this light, the term 'perversion' has been employed by many scholars ? with a nod towards Foucault ? to highlight the productive aspects of truth regimes such as 'sexuality'. An emphasis on the role of fantasy in literary and other aesthetic representations and in the practice of BDSM sex is a common feature of current research into masochism. It is, however, rarer to find academic studies that celebrate masochism in theway thatTorben Lohm?ller's monograph does. It is the author's declared intent to overcome what he sees as the limitations of recent research into masochism. Lohm?ller attempts to depart from interpretations such as those of John Noyes, Suzanne Stewart and Michael Gratzke, which share the view that masochism is characterized by its defensive reaction towards change in society and the inherent risks of love. Lohm?ller takes the side of the masochistic individual by reinstating a masochism that transcends history, thus 'actively forgetting' (p. 109) what the previous generation of scholars has achieved. Although the author views this transcendent Masochist as the 'Subjekt der sp?ten Avantgarde' he pries itfrom itshistorical context without further consideration of its limitations. The main merits of Lohm?ller's study lie in the unconventional and broad selection of his primary material. After a solid but unexciting presentation of Hegelian thought in relation to research into masochism, the author deals with the mode of confession in Rousseau, Sacher-Masoch and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. This is the only time he explores the possibility of a multitude of masochisms rather than the uniform Masochism the rest of the book implies. The chapter on the importance of images in themasochistic aesthetic represents the highlight of this book, and Lohm?ller adds value to the study of Sacher Masoch with his brilliant interpretation of the little-known novella Marzella oder Das M?rchen vom Gl?ck, which has been notoriously difficult to situate in any interpretation of Sacher-Masoch 's works. Lohm?ller succeeds in integrating it into his interpretation by showing that the protagonist isnot the anti-masochist, who overcomes the 'imagin?res Verkennen', but the successful masochist, who AUSTRIAN STUDIES I5, 2OO7 209 does what Severin in Venus imPelz could not achieve: 'er hat seine Geliebte vollst?ndig in ein Idealbild gebannt' (p. 122). When itcomes to his main thesis, Lohm?ller aligns himself more closely with recent research by stating thatmasochism oscillates between delimitation and limitation, imagination and reality, theApollonian and Dionysian (pp. 109, 154). This isnot a simple opening up of experience towards an abyss, but a dialectical motion, where reason is the condition for the unreasonable, the limitation the guarantor of delimitation. He takes thismodel a step further in his chapter on the Austrian Aktionsk?nstler Hermann Nitsch, who deals in his art, through a 'Transgression sprachlich repr?sentierenden Denkens', with the experience of a 'sadomasochistischer Grundexzess' that underlies our civilization (p. 155). Overall, this book, which is based on the author's American PhD thesis, lacks circumspection. Although it addresses Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's writing, Lohm?ller's study curiously ignores all new developments in queer theory and their possible application in the study of masochism. It is, nevertheless, an engaging intervention and will be received with interest by anyone with an academic investment in the study ofmasochism. University of..." @default.
