The popular German streaming series Babylon Berlin—a neo-noir
thriller set in the final years of the Weimar Republic—builds on
the fascination with 1920s Berlin as a centre of political and
economic upheaval, hedonistic nightlife, and vibrant artistic
experimentation. Exploring Weimar’s history and culture, its
legacy, and its resonance in the early 21st century, this volume
analyses Babylon Berlin and its unique contribution to contemporary
visual culture. Since its inception in 2017 the series 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 international
group of scholars to critically examine various facets of the show,
including its aesthetic form and citational style, its
representation of the history and politics of late Weimar, 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 fans of the series and for
scholars and students of cinema and media studies, visual culture,
history, and German & European studies.
