The essays in this collection address the German television series
Babylon Berlin and explore its unique contribution to contemporary
visual culture. Since its inception in 2017 the series, a neo-noir
thriller set in Berlin in the final years of the Weimar republic,
has reached audiences throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas and
has been met with both critical and popular acclaim. As a visual
work rife with historical and contemporary citations Babylon Berlin
offers its audience a panoramic view of politics, crime, culture,
gender, and sexual relations in the German capital. Focusing
especially on the intermedial and transhistorical dimensions of the
series, across four parts—Babylon Berlin, Global Media and Fan
Culture; The Look and Sound of Babylon Berlin; Representing Weimar
History; and Weimar Intertexts—the volume brings together an
interdisciplinary and international group of scholars to critically
examine various facets of the show, including its aesthetic form
and citation style, its representation of the history and politics
of the late Weimar Republic, and its exemplary status as a
blockbuster production of neoliberal media culture. Considering the
series from the perspective of a variety of disciplines, Babylon
Berlin, German Visual Spectacle, and Global Media Culture is
essential reading for students of film, TV, media studies, and
visual culture on German Studies, History, and European Studies
programmes.
