	Elective Affinities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elective Affinities (originally Die Wahlverwandtschaften in German) is an 1809 novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
		In early Nineteenth century chemistry, the phrase "elective affinities" was used to describe compounds that only interacted with each other under select circumstances.
		Goethe used this as an organizing metaphor for marriage, and for the conflict between responsibility and passion.

		Elective Affinities was written when Goethe was sixty and long established as Germany's literary giant.
		"Elective Affinities" is the story of two married aristocrats, Eduard and Charlotte, who spend their time and money in general indolence, tinkering with the land on their estate.
		Goethe's "Elective Affinities" is a quick read - Hollingdale's translation is user-friendly, becoming ornate only when faith to the original seems to demand it.

	Elective Affinities
		In the novel, the chemical term “elective affinities” extends to human relationships, both intimate and political.
		Like the alkalis and acids of which Goethe's characters speak, words and images, though apparently opposed, may have a remarkable affinity for one another.
		How words and images represent and whether they enjoy a harmonious kinship, engage in border skirmishes, or seek to annihilate one another, are not merely formal matters.

		Weber's theory of elective affinities seems a logical choice as it provides a framework for historical interpretation; Merton's functional analysis can be utilized to explore the functional and dysfunctional aspects of Christian speed metal.
		The elective affinities model does not address the function(s) or disfunction(s) of the phenomenon under observation since Weber was often not concerned with functions but only with the development of a unique phenomenon.
		The elective affinities approach allows the researcher to see the connections between Christian speed metal and the components that are a part of this musical form such as structural conditions, musical structure, visual presentation, and themes.

	DVD Talk Review: Elective Affinities
		After a sweltering day at Baron Edoardo's estate Carlotta reads for the two couples a text exploring the "elective affinities"- a theory explaining the dependency between similar substances and their ability to create couples that naturally disband when a new element enters the equation.
		Based on Goethe's Elective Affinities this exceptionally poignant Italian-French film by the Taviani brothers is a beauty to behold.
		I think that this is a missed opportunity for Wellspring as the three films they released (Elective Affinities, St, Michael had a Rooster, and Night Sun) could have included some extensive extras investigating the Taviani brothers and their body of work.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Die Wahlverwandtschaften [Elective Affinities] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Goethe’s Die Wahlverwandtschaften [Elective Affinities, 1809] is one of the most densely woven and enigmatic works in his oeuvre.
		It was anticipated with more excitement by readers than any of his other works, and, except for Werther and Faust, has inspired more investigations as to its meaning, both at the time of its first publication and since.
		Among presentations in media other than print are an East German film: Die Wahlverwandtschaften (1975) and one in Italian with English subtitles: Elective Affinities, by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (1996), also a recent moveable audience live performance in the castle and park of Ettersburg outside Weimar.

	JOYCE CAROL OATES : ELECTIVE AFFINITIES
		Elective Affinities: A Study in the Sources and Intertexts of Joyce Carol Oates's Short Fiction
		Drawing pointed and crucial distinctions between sources, analogues, echoes, allusions, and "reimaginings", Sreelakshmi explores intertextualities in Oates whose stories often present fictional studies of the fiction they seem to re-read and re-write.
		In six closely argued and well illustrated chapters Elective Affinities also shows how Oates conducts radical experiments with fictional forms and engages with increasingly plural, dialogical, and highly non-representational fiction true to her postmodern allegiances.

	Elective Affinities : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		If someone asked me to identify a prototypical "art film," I could do no better than to point them to Elective Affinities, a low-budget period piece from Italy, featuring circuitous dialogue, a story based on a Goethe novel, and an absolutely awful title.
		Elective Affinities tracks a foursome in a Tuscan villa who couple in a variety of formations.
		There's bad feelings and a baby, but most of all there's a whole lotta talking about emotions -- with a pseudo-scientific explanation of love as a mathematical equation (which, sort of, explains the title).

	Blackwell Online - Elective Affinities
		But the peace of their existence is thrown into chaos when two visitors Eduard's friend the Captain and Charlotte's passionate young ward Ottilie provoke unexpected attraction and forbidden love.
		Taking its title from the principle of elective affinities the theory that certain chemicals are naturally drawn to one another this is a penetrating study of marriage and adultery.
		Inspired by Goethe's own conflicting loyalties as he battled to maintain his relationship with his wife and control his feelings for a younger woman, Elective Affinities is one of the greatest works of the romance era: a rich exploration of love, conflict, and the inescapable force of fate.

	The Elective Affinities
		The Elective Affinities is an Italian art piece based on the Goethe novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften.
		While this is considered one of the genuine masterpieces of the 19th century, the film was clearly something less than that.
		Goethe apparently believed that, much like the currently popular theory of Elective Affinities in physics, people do not choose whom they are attracted to.

		The 'elective affinities' are the connections made between the two pairs of lovers, whose real affinity cancels and overcomes their formal marital connection.
		We tend to forget that in his own era, Goethe was regarded as the preeminent genius of European letters.
		Whether writing a travelogue (The Italian Journey), a play (Faust), or a novel (Wether, Elective Affinities, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship), Goethe is the consummate artist.
