Description

Susan Sontag (1933-2004) gilt als Ikone, als streitbare Intellektuelle in der Tradition Zolas und Voltaires, die immer wieder in der Politik intervenierte. Doch wie wurde sie, als Susan Lee Rosenblatt im Januar 1933 geboren, zur schillernden Figur des New Yorker Kulturbetriebs? Stephan Isernhagen verortet Sontag im kulturellen Feld New Yorks und argumentiert, dass Themen, die sie besetzte, Haltungen, die sie sich aneignete und Kategorien, an denen entlang sie ihre Kunstkritik ausrichtete, den Kulturbetrieb New Yorks lange vor ihrer Etablierung in der Ostküstenmetropole prägten. Er arbeitet den Zusammenhang zwischen Sontags Selbstwahrnehmung als Homosexuelle und ihrer Kunstkritik heraus und zeigt, wie stark die von gesellschaftlichen Autoritäten immer wieder festgestellte Minderwertigkeit der homosexuellen Erfahrung die Kunstkritik einer Frau, die als eine der wichtigsten weiblichen Intellektuellen in die Geschichte eingegangen ist, prägte.
