Journal Article
Tammsaare's Constructions of Femininity in Light of Weininger's Concept of Sex Difference
2015
Overview
The texts of Estonian literary classic A. H. Tammsaare (1878-1940) can be read as mediating contradictory fin de siècle discourses of modernity. The emergence of these discourses was the effect of an accelerated process of socioeconomic modernization. This article analyzes constructions of femininity in Tammsaare's literary texts through his women protagonists. The construction of these protagonists can meaningfully be traced to the increasingly insistent presence of women in the public sphere throughout Europe and in Estonia at the period of fin de siècle. Although Tammsaare's texts speak by means of feminist discourses, his constructions of femininity lean toward the negative, misogynistic pole of these reactions to emancipated and \"new\" women. His analysis of womanhood often refers to the misogynist theory of gender in Otto Weininger's popular treatise Geschlecht und Charakter. Eine prinzipielle Untersuchung (Sex and Character. An Investigation of Fundamental Principles), which came out 1903.
