Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1998.

This dissertation addresses the nexus of space, gender, and modernity in early twentieth-century Germany. Processes of engenderment, this dissertation demonstrates, are intimately intertwined with the production, representation, and symbolic use of space. Chapter One presents an overview of important contributions to theories of space and gender, and proposes a theoretical framework that brings the feminist concepts of positionality together with theories of spatiality such as those by Michel Foucault, Henri Lefebvre, and Michel de Certeau. Understood in its expanded spatial dimensions, the notion of positionality, this dissertation asserts, both denaturalizes essentialist notions of space and identity and unravels the symbolic hierarchies that provided the resources by means of which women in Germany during the early twentieth century positioned themselves and in certain important instances contested the workings of dominant structures.

520 $a This dissertation addresses the nexus of space, gender, and modernity in early twentieth-century Germany. Processes of engenderment, this dissertation demonstrates, are intimately intertwined with the production, representation, and symbolic use of space. Chapter One presents an overview of important contributions to theories of space and gender, and proposes a theoretical framework that brings the feminist concepts of positionality together with theories of spatiality such as those by Michel Foucault, Henri Lefebvre, and Michel de Certeau. Understood in its expanded spatial dimensions, the notion of positionality, this dissertation asserts, both denaturalizes essentialist notions of space and identity and unravels the symbolic hierarchies that provided the resources by means of which women in Germany during the early twentieth century positioned themselves and in certain important instances contested the workings of dominant structures.
520 $a Chapter Two proposes that Freud's work foreshadows strategies that translate modern anxieties into narratives that recuperate even the strongest women in male fantasies of domination, strategies found in what has been called phobic modernism. Chapter Three examines a novel by Paul Scheerbart, architectural designs by Adolf Loos, Bauhaus programs and Frankfurt kitchen debates, showing how these works exhibit Freudian spatial paradigms while securing rather unmodern, traditional gender roles. With Loos's house design for Josephine Baker, the discussion turns to the colonial fantasies and racial dynamics in processes of engenderment and modernization. While Chapter Three analyzes works that exhibited aspects of what de Certeau calls place, Chapter Four examines literary, cinematic, and architectural works that feature the notion of spatial practice or practiced place. Chapter Four explores the spatial practices of female characters in Lou Andreas-Salome's The House and G. W. Pabst's Secrets of a Soul, practices that stress different modes of inhabitation. Chapter Four concludes with a discussion of what is termed melodramatic modernism in Lilly Reich's Velvet and Silk Cafe. As a symptom and catalyst of female experience in modernity, Reich's cafe design offers an alternative and specifically female modernism. The focus on spatial production and engenderment thus results in an understanding of modernism as an ambivalent force oscillating between abstract utopianism and concrete embodiment and contestation.
