In spite of having been short-lived, "Weimar" has never lost its
fascination. Until recently the Weimar Republic's place in German
history was primarily defined by its catastrophic beginning and end
- Germany's defeat in 1918 and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933;
its history seen mainly in terms of politics and as an arena of
flawed decisions and failed compromises. However, a flourishing of
interdisciplinary scholarship on Weimar political culture is
uncovering arenas of conflict and change that had not been studied
closely before, such as gender, body politics, masculinity,
citizenship, empire and borderlands, visual culture, popular
culture and consumption. This collection offers new perspectives
from leading scholars in the disciplines of history, art history,
film studies, and German studies on the vibrant political culture
of Germany in the 1920s. From the traumatic ruptures of defeat,
revolution, and collapse of the Kaiser's state, the visionaries of
Weimar went on to invent a republic, calling forth new citizens and
cultural innovations that shaped the republic far beyond the realms
of parliaments and political parties.
