Korperkultur und Moderne: Robert Musils Asthetik des Sports - Quellen und Forschungen zur Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte
Anne Fleig
This study investigates the presentation, evaluation, and literary appropriation of sport, physical education, and physical exercise in the works of Robert Musil. In Musil´s day the modern ""body cult"" was gradually evolving, including the invention of sport as a modern life-form. The author examines the historical phenomenon of sport via evaluation of contemporary newspapers and specialist manuals, focusing subsequently on the estheticization and semanticization of sport in Musil´s works.
