The Doppelganger - the double, twin, mirror image or alter ego of
someone else - is an ancient and universal theme that can be traced
at least as far back as Greek and Roman mythology, but is
particularly associated with two areas of study: psychology, and
German literature and culture since the Romantic movement. Although
German language literature has been a nexus for writing on the
Doppelganger, there is a paucity of scholarly work treating a
broader selection of cultural products from the German-speaking
world. The essays in this volume explore the phenomenon of the
double in multiple aspects of German visual culture, from
traditional art forms like painting and classical ballet to more
contemporary ones like film, photography and material culture, and
even puppet theatre. New ways of understanding the Doppelganger
emerge from analyses of various media and time periods, such as the
theme of the double in a series of portraits by Egon Schiele, the
doubling of silk by rayon in Weimar Germany and its implications
for class distinctions in Germany, and the use of the x-ray as a
form of double in Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain and Christoph
Schlingensief's performance art.
