Beschreibung:
This essay indtroduces a nearly fogotten Expressionist poet, Henriette Hardenberg (1894 - 1993), whose work often focuses on the realtionship between a subject and her "body". Using feminist philosopher Elizabeth Grosz's concept of a "body image", said to determine sexual identity, I conduct a series of close readings to show that Hardenberg's writing can be read in opposition to constructing such an image. Hardenberg, herself a dancer, represents the "body" as a space whose boundaries are fluid, perpetually in otion, so that the reader is unabele to visualize it, and sexual identity can be recognized, as by definition, unstable
