Historical Dictionary of Berlin (Hardcover): Ulrike Zitzlsperger Historical Dictionary of Berlin (Hardcover)

After World War II Berlin became one of the playgrounds of the Cold War; the Berlin Wall made the division between East and West, between 'capitalism' and 'communism' in 1961 highly visible, though it did remove Berlin from front-line politics. East and West Berlin had turned into shop-windows of ideologies - West Berlin representing the lure of a market economy, East Berlin the promise of socialism. It is, then, fitting that the fall of the Wall in 1989 awarded Berlin such a prominent role. It was here that the development after Reunification of East and West became a closely observed event - and, well beyond Germany, Berlin appeared to represent fundamental developments throughout Europe at the time. Today, Berlin is the capital of reunified Germany and therefore one of the key political players in the European Union (EU) and it's now a desirable destination for young entrepreneurs. The Historical Dictionary of Berlin contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, institutions, and events. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Berlin.

Konsum und Imagination- Tales of Commerce and Imagination - Das Warenhaus und die Moderne in Film und Literatur- Department Stores and Modernity in Film and Literature (English, German, Hardcover, New edition)

Das Warenhaus war uber Deutschland hinaus bis in die 1930er-Jahre einer der kulturgeschichtlich bedeutendsten Ansatzpunkte fur die Auseinandersetzung mit der Moderne und der Konsumkultur. Die Autoren und Autorinnen dieses Bandes zeigen sowohl den Facettenreichtum des Warenhaus-Diskurses in der Literatur, dem Feuilleton, in Musicals und im Film als auch die Bandbreite der teils sozial-und kulturkritischen, teils fortschrittsorientierten Thematisierungen auf. Dabei kommen Romane von Zola, Brecht und Fallada sowie Schriften weniger bekannter Autoren zur Sprache. Das emanzipatorische Potenzial des Warenhausthemas findet ebenso Beachtung wie waren- und konsumasthetische Strategien, die in Literatur, Film und anderen Medien reflektiert werden. Until the 1930s department stores provided, in Germany as elsewhere, one of the focal points of cultural and critical engagement with modernity and consumer culture. The authors of this volume explore the diversity of the discourse on department stores in literature, the feuilleton, musicals and film. They demonstrate the scope of the discourse from cultural criticism to more progress-oriented examinations of the theme. Novels by Zola, Brecht and Fallada are discussed, as well as writings by lesser known authors. Attention is paid to the emancipatory potential of department stores as well as to the aesthetics of consumption as reflected in literature, film and other media.

R1,724 Discovery Miles 17 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Dieser Band untersucht die literarische und filmische Behandlung halboeffentlicher Raume im Verlauf des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Bahnhoefe, Hotels und Cafes werden hier als topografische Fixpunkte verstanden, die angesichts politischer, kultureller und sozialer Veranderungen jeweils neu erschlossen oder wahrgenommen werden. Auf diese Weise koennen Narrative konkretisiert, soziale Konstellationen ausgeleuchtet und historische Umbruche nachvollziehbar werden. Wahrend der Schwerpunkt auf dem deutschen Sprachraum und hier wiederum Berlin liegt, findet, wo angemessen, auch der europaische Kontext Berucksichtigung. Die chronologisch angelegte Auseinandersetzung mit Schriftstellern und Regisseuren schliesst unter anderen Joseph Roth, Gabriele Tergit, Vicki Baum, Walther Ruttmann, Klaus Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, Ingeborg Drewitz und W.G. Sebald ein und konzentriert sich erst auf die Zwischenkriegszeit und den Zweiten Weltkrieg, dann auf die Nachkriegszeit und den Kalten Krieg bis zur Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands. Daruber hinaus werden die halboeffentlichen Raume auch in Hinblick auf ihre Rolle in der Kriminal-und Reiseliteratur und als Spiegel von Regional-und Landesgeschichten aufgegriffen.
