The Struggle for the Streets of Berlin: Politics, Consumption, and Urban Space, 1914–1945
As its subtitle suggests, Molly Loberg’s study of Berlin engages multiple spheres and discourses. It grants each a measure of autonomy but also integrates them into an intriguing narrative. The streets are primarily those of the commercial and administrative heart of the city where Berliners and visitors circulated in large numbers for consumption, parades, protest and entertainment. They are at once literal and metonyms for the convergence of po…
Reluctant Skeptic: Siegfried Kracauer and the Crises of Weimar Culture
Weimar culture is a construction no less of its contemporary commentators than of its leading artists, intellectuals and filmmakers. However ephemeral in some respects the output of its essayists and critics may have been, their contribution to our understanding, indeed to the terms of ongoing debates, remains indispensable. Siegfried Kracauer, known for his later study of German cinema, was among a number of Weimar writers who stood out for the …
Self-Help and State Rescue: The Raiffeisen Bank and Rationalization of the Cooperative Movement in Weimar Germany
In 1930 Germany's vast and diverse network of agricultural cooperatives was unified in the world's largest cooperative organization. Unification was underwritten by the state in support of an agrarian sector in deep crisis. It was achieved under the banner of rationalization, the elimination of wasteful duplication of rural cooperatives. The focus of this article is how the Raiffeisen General Association, Germany's second-largest cooperative orga…
Gerd Gemünden. Continental Strangers: German Exile Cinema, 1933–1951
Continental Strangers: German Exile Cinema, 1933–1951 investigates the significance of emigration and exile as articulated in the creative output of leading German film personnel who worked in Hollywood. It examines how German exiles are identifiable in their work through subject positions and ways of seeing and crafting that were distinct from those of Hollywood filmmakers. These identifiers resisted studio formulas and yet proved assimilable. G…

Hollywood in Berlin: American Cinema and Weimar Germany
The setting is 1920s Berlin, cultural heart of Europe and the era's only serious cinematic rival to Hollywood. In his engaging study, Thomas Saunders explores an outstanding example of one of the most important cultural developments of this century: global Americanization through the motion picture. The invasion of Germany by American films, which began in 1921 with overlapping waves of sensationalist serials, slapstick shorts, society pictures, …

Coca-Colonization and the Cold War: The Cultural Mission of the United States in Austria after the Second World War
Reinhold Wagnleitner argues that cultural propaganda played an enormous part in integrating Austrians and other Europeans into the American sphere during the Cold War. In Coca-Colonization and the Cold War , he shows that 'Americanization' was the result not only of market forces and consumerism but also of systematic planning on the part of the United States. Wagnleitner traces the intimate relationship between the political and economic reconst…
Cinema in Democratizing Germany: Reconstructing National Identity after Hitler
I consider this book--a history of German cinema from its inception to 1962--to be a model of how history and film studies can blend together, each informing the other in unexpected ways.In this impressive work, Fehrenbach shows how German cinema, from its beginnings, has been embedded in the politics of culture and identity.Prior to World War II, the author shows how various social and political groups viewed film from two contrasting perspectiv…

Art, Ideology, and Entertainment in Soviet Cinema
The historical simultaneity of cinema's emergence as a mass medium and the Bolshevik revolution virtually determined that the new regime would appropriate film as a key weapon of mass persuasion. Lenin's famous dictum that us the most important of all arts is the captures the ambition to appropriate all means available, especially modern ones, to effect a programme of sociopolitical engineering. It does not, however, ipso facto mean that Bolshevi…
