Reviews

Gelderloos dismantles the dualities so often used to define Weimar Culture, and offers a series of incisive close-readings to present the many ways in which intellectuals and artists imagined modernity through the contested site of organic life. The book is a model of transdisciplinary scholarship that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the humanities and science studies, and it is a significant contribution to an exciting area of research that asks us to rethink our understanding of European modernism. --Stefanie Harris, author of Mediating Modernity: German Literature and the New Media, 1895-1930
