Stichwort: Kooperation
Marx spricht im »Kapital« von den »animal spirits«, den »Lebensgeistern«. Sie erwachen, wenn Menschen räumlich zusammen sind. So ist schon ein Publikum keinesfalls die bloße Summe von Einzelnen. Das Wichtigste geschieht zwischen den Menschen, denn: »Keiner ist alleine schlau genug.« »Kooperation« gibt es aber auch in ihnen: »Ich denke, weil ich davon absehen kann, daß ich bin. Ich bin nämlich keineswegs allein, sondern in mir sind die anderen, und die denken unaufhörlich, weil das ihre Notwehrform ist.« In Alexander Kluges Begriffsinventar und in seiner praktischen Arbeit ist »Kooperation« eines der wichtigsten Stichwörter. Das Jahrbuch 2017 konzentriert sich darauf. Marx...
Nostalgia for the Future: Modernism and Heterogeneity in the Visual Arts of Nazi Germany
In the first chapter on the German military’s unlikely function as an incubator of modernist art and in the second chapter on Adolf Hitler’s advocacy for “eugenic” figurative representation embodying nostalgia for lost Aryan racial perfection and the aspiration for the future perfection of the German Volk, Maertz conclusively proves that the Nazi attack on modernism was inconsistent. In further chapters, on the appropriation of Christian iconography in constructing symbols of a Nazi racial utopia and on Baldur von Schirach’s heretical patronage of modernist art as the supreme Nazi Party authority in Vienna, Maertz reveals that sponsorship of modernist artists continued until the collapse of the regime. Also based on previously unexamined evidence, including 10,000 works of art and documents confiscated by the U.S. Army, Maertz’s final chapter reconstructs the anarchic denazification and rehabilitation of German artists during the Allied occupation, which had unforeseen consequences for the postwar art world.

The Faustian Bargain
Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous international attention in recent years, and the topic of two history bestsellers, Hector Feliciano's The Lost Museum and Lynn Nicholas's The Rape of Europa. But such books leave us wondering: What made thoughtful, educated, artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is the starting point for The Faustian Bargain, Jonathan Petropoulos's study of the key figures in the art world of Nazi Germany. Petropoulos follows the careers of these prominent individuals who like Faust, that German archetype, chose to pursue artistic ends through collaboration with diabolical forces. Reade...
