In light of the recent rise of right-wing populism in numerous
political contexts and in the face of resurgent nationalism,
racism, misogyny, homophobia, and demagoguery, this book
investigates how historical and contemporary cultural producers
have sought to resist, confront, confound, mock, or call out
situations of political oppression in Germany, a country which has
seen a dramatic range of political extremes during the past
century. While the current turn to nationalist populism is global,
it is perhaps most disturbing in Germany, given its history with
its stormy first democracy in the interwar Weimar Republic; its
infamous National Socialist (Nazi) period of the 1930s and 1940s;
and its split Cold-War existence, with Marxist-Leninist
Totalitarianism in the German Democratic Republic and the Federal
Republic of Germany's barely-hidden ties to the Nazi past. Equally
important, Germans have long considered art and culture critical to
constructions of national identity, which meant that they were
frequently implicated in political action. This book therefore
examines a range of work by artists from the early twentieth
century to the present, work created in an array of contexts and
media that demonstrates a wide range of possible resistance.
