Film History for the Anthropocene
"From its beginnings, some of German film's most prominent genres and directors have focused on the natural world and its transformations by humans. Heimat films, "city symphonies," mountain films, and rubble films all blend the boundary between landscape documentary and fiction film. Yet German film studies has been slow to adopt an environmental focus, concentrating (understandably) on its subject matter's political implications. This book reveals critical connections between German film, sociopolitical context, and environment, showing it to have been a creative catalyst for the social and ecological transformation of the Anthropocene. The book first considers the interplay between German...
Processes of Transposition
The essays collected in this book focus on the multi-faceted relationship between German/Austrian literature and the cinema screen. Scholars from Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Portugal, USA and Canada present critical readings of a wide range of transpositions of German-language texts to film, while also considering the impact of cinema on German literature, exploring intertextualities as well as intermedialities. The forum of discussion thus created encompasses cinematic narratives based on Goethe’s Faust, Kleist’s Marquise of O..., Kubrick’s film version of Schnitzler’s Dream Story and Caroline Link’s Oscar-winning adaptation of Stefanie Zweig’s nove...

Die Titanic und die Deutschen
Der Untergang der Titanic wurde für die deutsche Gesellschaft zum Anlass einer gesellschaftlichen Neuverortung. In Kunst und Wissenschaft, in Zeitungen, Romanen, Bildern und Filmen entstand einer der bedeutendsten Mythen des 20. Jahrhunderts: der Mythos der Titanic. Er erzählt oft mehr über die kulturellen und soziopolitischen Umstände seiner Entstehung als über das historische Ereignis selbst - und ist somit ein eindrucksvoller Spiegel der wechselvollen deutschen Geschichte. Dieses Buch bietet zum ersten Mal eine ausführliche Darstellung des deutschen Titanic-Mythos, seiner medialen Repräsentation und seiner kulturellen Einschlüsse.

Each museum is lavishly illustrated and comprehensively described. Addresses and phone numbers, hours of admittance, travel directions, and a map are included.
Ort und Zeit
Like every history, the history of film can be grasped not just as a temporal phenomenon, but also within the specificity with which it has inscribed itself into concrete places. The question of how this has occurred at different points in German film history forms the starting point of this book. Using five examples, it explores the social and political horizons of heterotopic concepts of space in German film from the 1930s to the 1990s: Hamburg in Werner Hochbaum’s A Girl Goes Ashore [Ein Mädchen geht an Land], East Berlin in Günter Reisch’s Ein Lord am Alexanderplatz, Munich in the early works of Wim Wenders, the passage from New York to Athens and Santorini via Berlin in Rudolf Thome’s Die Sonnegöttin, and the reunified Berlin in Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run [Lola rennt]. The main points of interest are the poetological devices the films use to portray their settings. By uniting topology and film aesthetics, this book opens up spaces of historic experience that provide film historiography with new insights.
