Through detailed explorations of some of her major texts, Brinker-Gabler examines\u003cbr\u003eAndreas-Salomé's contributions to contemporary discourses on meaning, perception, memory, and\u003cbr\u003ethe unconscious. Situating her analyses within Andreas-Salomé's historical, social, and intellectual\u003cbr\u003econtexts, this new reading utilizes a theoretical frame informed by thinkers such as Benjamin, Bergson,\u003cbr\u003eand Freud, and current theoretical perspectives by Irigaray, Grosz, and Kristeva. Brinker-Gabler argues\u003cbr\u003ethat Andreas-Salomé - committed as she was to the \"double direction\" of rigorous thought and individual nuancing - refocused dominant visions of gender, sexuality, culture, religion, and creativity through a female lens. In a \"disenchanted world\" (Weber), Andreas-Salomé offered an image epistemology or \"aesthetics of b(u)ilding,\" as Brinker-Gabler calls it, that seeks to retrieve the multilayered past embedded in individuals and cultural forms, thus providing positive accounts of sexual and cultural difference, experience, narcissism, and creativity in modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eGisela Brinker-Gabler is Professor of Comparative Literature at The State University of New York at Binghamton, USA.
