Colonial Cinema in Africa
In recent decades historians and film scholars have intensified their study of colonial cinema in Africa. Yet the vastness of the continent, the number of European powers involved and irregular record keeping has made uncovering the connections between imagery, imperialism and indigenous peoples difficult. This volume takes up the challenge, tracing production and exhibition patterns to show how motion pictures were introduced on the continent during the "Scramble for Africa" and the subsequent era of consolidation. The author describes how early actualities, expeditionary footage, ethnographic documentaries and missionary films were made in the African interior and examines the rise of mass black spectatorship. While Africans in the first two decades of the 20th century were sidelined as cinema consumers because of colonial restrictions, social and political changes in the subsequent interwar period--wrought by large-scale mining in southern Africa--led to a rethinking of colonial film policy by missionaries, mining concerns and colonial officials. By World War II, cinema had come to black Africa.

Auswandern in die Moderne
An zwei großen Werken hat Goethe jahrzehntelang gearbeitet: am Faust II und an Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahren. In ihnen thematisiert er den Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts als Epocheneinschnitt, der das Ende jahrhundertealter Traditionen und den Anbruch der Moderne markiert. Insbesondere Goethes Altersroman zeigt dabei, wie sich das 'Neue' als durchgängige Utilitarisierung aller Wirklichkeitsbereiche manifestiert. Die vorliegende Studie deutet die Wanderjahre als Reflexionsmedium, das Wissensbestände der Gegenwart und Vergangenheit integriert, um sie im Handeln und Erleben der Protagonisten dem 'anschauenden' Verstehen zu präsentieren.
