How does the visual nature of spectacle inform the citizenry,
destabilize the political, challenge aesthetic convention and
celebrate cultural creativity? What are the limits - aesthetic,
political, social, cultural, economic - of spectacle? How do we
explain the inherently exclusionary, revolutionary, dehumanizing
and utopian elements of spectacle? In this book, authors from the
fields of cultural studies, cinema studies, history and art history
examine the concept of spectacle in the German context across
various media forms, historical periods and institutional divides.
Drawing on theoretical models of spectacle by Guy Debord, Max
Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, Jonathan Crary and Michel Foucault,
the contributors to this volume suggest that a decidedly German
concept of spectacle can be gleaned from critical interventions
into exhibitions, architectural milestones, audiovisual materials
and cinematic and photographic images emerging out of German
culture from the Baroque to the contemporary.
