Femme fatale oder femme fragile : Die Darstellung der Frau bei Bernhard Schlink Der Vorleser und Uwe Timm Die Entdeckung der Currywurst / Femme fatale or femme fragile : The representation of women in the novels Der Vorleser, written by Bernhard Schlink and Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, written by Uwe TimmRestel, Thony January 2021 (has links)
This thesis examines the novels Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, written by the German author Uwe Timm in 1993 and Der Vorleser, written by the German author Bernhard Schlink in 1995. In each story the main protagonist is a woman. Incorporating the ideas of the feminist movement, the thesis focuses on the notion that the literary role of women does not coincide with realistic representations of women rather it derives from traditionally stereotypical images of a femme fatale or a femme fragile. The goal is to analyse the depiction of women as literary protagonists in both novels. Do they truly comply with the traditional images of feminism or are there certain traits that deviate?

The Sickly Female Body in Edvard Munch's The Dance of Life (1899-1900)McEwen, Rebecca January 2018 (has links)
In interpretations of The Dance of Life (1899-1900) by Edvard Munch, the femme fragile and the femme fatale have been considered jointly (i.e. as allusions to the cyclicality of life) or as individuals. Their unique characteristics have been recognized as such: whereas the femme fragile dons white to signify her prepubescent state and thus her innocence, the femme fatale wears red to suggest her sexuality and even her availability. Yet, scholars have failed to probe their iconographical complexities. Doing so would not only lend greater conviction to Munch’s historical identity as a Symbolist (as his archetypes would be recognized for their multivalence), but it would also reveal the didactic possibilities of the work of art itself. Given this void in the literature, the purpose of this thesis will be to elaborate on the formal and narrative qualities of the femme fragile and femme fatale in this painting. These archetypes ultimately allude to misogynistic anxieties, with the femme fragile in particular representing the sickly female body. / Art History
