"Lethen brilliantly interprets New Objectivity as a tactical
response to the need for a 'code of conduct' in an age of anxiety
about values and normative judgments. Moving effortlessly between
analysis of philosophical texts and literary works, he charts an
increasingly popular field of cultural studies: how cultural
discourses shape behavior. One of the most original and daring
contributions to Weimar scholarship and to the study of modernity
in general in a decade."--Anton Kaes, University of California,
Berkeley
"Lethen is probably the most original and outstanding scholar
writing in German today about Weimar literature and culture. He
traces the figure of the 'cold persona' as part of a broader
discourse of anthropological, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions.
The book is written in a personal voice, witty, lucid, and
unpretentious."--Miriam Hansen, University of Chicago
