Beschreibung:
It is believed that Der wilde Garten (1927) was the first Austrian novel to deal openly with lesbian love, lesbian desire, and lesbian sex. In the course of a queer reading, this article denies limiting identity constructions and presents an analysis thatoutlines elements of deviance and resistance toward a heterosexual structure andlocates these ambiguities as already inscribed in these very systems. The necessarydiscomfort associated with providing a stage for the National Socialist author Gretevon Urbanitzky by discussing one of her books remains a product of the many references to her inhumane, racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic and sexist ideas. The article contextualizes her ideas and the novel’s lesbian motifs and gives a broad overview oflesbian life during fin-de-siècle Vienna.
