Expressionism and Film
Expressionism and Film, originally published in German in 1926, is not only a classic of film history, but also an important work from the early phase of modern media history. Written with analytical brilliance and historical vision by a well-known contemporary of the expressionist movement, it captures Expressionism at the time of its impending conclusion—as an intersection of world view, resoluteness of form, and medial transition. Though one of the most frequently-cited works of Weimar culture, Kurtz's groundbreaking work, which is on a par with Siegfried Kracauer's From Caligari to Hitler and Lotte Eisner's The Haunted Screen, has never been published in English. Its relevance and historical contexts are analyzed in a concise afterword by the Swiss scholars Christian Kiening and Ulrich Johannes Beil.
The Color of Modernism
One of the most enduring and pervasive myths about modernist architecture is that it was white-pure white walls both inside and out. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The Color of Modernism explodes this myth of whiteness by offering a riot of color in modern architectural treatises, polemics, and buildings. Focusing on Germany in the early 20th century, one of modernism's most foundational and influential periods, it examines the different scientific and artistic color theories which were advanced by members of the German avant-garde, from Bruno Taut to Walter Gropius to Hans Scharoun. German color theory went on to have a profound influence on the modern movement, and Germany se...
Emotionen in der Romantik
Romantik und Emotionsdarstellung scheinen genuin zusammenzugehören: Mit der Fokussierung der Ästhetik der Emotionen, ihrer gattungstypischen Inszenierung und Repräsentation bei Arnim, Günderrode, Goethe, Heine, Hoffmann, Schiller, Tieck u.a. bietet der Band eine breite Erarbeitung dieses Spannungsverhältnisses. Emotionstheoretisch gilt auch heute noch Herders Diktum: „Empfindung und Wort sind sich so gar entgegen: der wahrhafte Affekt ist stumm, durchbraust unsre ganze Brust inwendig eingeschlossen.“ Die Beiträge analysieren entsprechend den ›Umgang‹ mit bzw. die Repräsentation von Emotionen in der Literatur der Romantik. Die Tatsache, dass Gefühle anderer nie direkt zugängl...
Die Plastizität der Gefühle
Das Gefühlsleben wird zunehmend durch digitale Technologien ausgelesen, reguliert und produziert. Diese gleichermaßen von Hoffnungen und Ängsten begleitete Entwicklung ist die vorerst letzte Station einer seit der Antike intensiv diskutierten Verschränkung von Affekt und (Kultur-)Technik. Bernd Bösel eröffnet einen genealogischen Blick auf die epochenmachenden Neujustierungen dieser Technisierung. Denn erst im Nachvollzug der verschiedenen Logiken des Verfügens über Affekte wird es möglich, die Verflechtung der Technisierungsformen zu verstehen, auf denen die Psychomacht der Gegenwart basiert. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/

The Madwoman in the Volvo
I don't remember exactly when my formerly charming, humorous, omnipotent mother, who would swim a mile out into the ocean to get your beach ball in choppy seas, did the great recede. But she was a tide gradually but irrevocably washing out, she retreated, she receded, she drifted away, and there was nothing anybody could do about it. In ancient times, tribal women went alone to caves during menopause. Today, the 50 million menopausal women in America turn to cheery self-help books. As for Loh and her female friends, they are determined not to go quietly into their sixth decade, but instead opt for a desert festival of debauchery and half-nude stoners. Based on her acclaimed memoir of the same title that Booklist calls "hilarious, comforting and enlightening†?, Loh's play is a hilarious, provocative, often moving consideration of what it is to be a woman in a society that values and reveres youth. The Mad Woman in the Volvo received its world premiere on 3 January 2016 at South Coast Repertory, California.
