Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, & Racial Politics 
 
Elizabeth Otto. 
 
MIT Pres: 2019. First edition. Hardcover in a jacket. Octavo. 280 pages. Near fine. 
 
Radical politics right and left. Sexualities and genders fluid and flowering. Ghost photographs and an investigation of all things occult. Plus nude gymnastics. Through research into the lives of the Bauhausler with less famous names, Otto uncovers how everyone's dream art school was way dreamier and more raucous than everyone has imagined. 
 
"Bauhaus works are best understood as artifacts of life experiments aimed at profound change that moved from the interior worlds of spirit and mind; through the body, gender, and sexuality; and outwards to reimagine society as a whole. Above all, what haunts the Bauhaus and unifies it is its sometimes obscured, but never abandoned, search for utopian solutions to the entrenched inequities of its historical moment."
