Gender and Artistic Production in Roter Himmel ( Afire )
Christian Petzold's oeuvre is the most successful and well-known of the Berlin School. Early films made in collaboration with the late Harun Farocki are known outside of the world of things German. For instance, the Gespenster (Ghosts) trilogy is popular among political economists for its incisive depictions of how capitalism shapes subjects and interpersonal relationships. Yella, Jerichow, and Barbara are known for their powerful female protagon…
Vaccine patriotism and public health cultures
Media fatigue and public amnesia notwithstanding, Covid-19 continues to negatively impact humanity and the global economy. Uneven vaccination coverage fosters contagion and variants. High-income countries have suboptimal immunization rates due to the politicization of health care, fake news and eugenics-tinged histories that exacerbate hesitancy. Most low-income countries remain under-vaccinated due to the cost of jabs. Classic tech, affordable, …
Comrades of Color
In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, schol…

Towards a European Postmigrant Aesthetics
A contested polity and an imagined community, Europe is confronting a myriad of political, economic, and climatic shifts. Ethnographer Regina Römhild has recently argued that understanding Europe as homogeneous and clearly demarcated inaccurately conjures a truncated White entity quite distinct from that which its early founders imagined. Römhild juxtaposes a Europe traditionally, historically, and fundamentally constituted by migrancy. She shows…
Revolución en dos ruedas
Título original: "Revolution on Two Wheels: Pains and Pleasures of Bicycling in the Special Period". En Cuban Studies 2021. no. 50: 251-276. Traducción de Víctor Fowler Calzada. Escritor cubano. Especialista en Industrias culturales, MINCULT
The Berlin Wall in Fernando Pérez’s La pared de las palabras ( The Wall of Words )
Renowned Cuban filmmaker Fernando Pérez’s films are known for capturing the pulse of street-level life in Havana. Produced independently of the Cuban Film Institute, La pared de las palabras (The Wall of Words) (2014) expresses the im/possibilities and necessity of communication in precarity. The lyrical, gritty feature depicts multiple practices of being and interdependence in conditions of vulnerability. The Berlin Wall ciphers impoverished int…
Cultural Topographies of the New Berlin
Since Unification and the end of the Cold War, Berlin has witnessed a series of uncommonly intense social, political, and cultural transformations. While positioning itself as a creative center populated by young and cosmopolitan global citizens, the “New Berlin” is at the same time a rich site of historical memory, defined inescapably by its past even as it articulates German and European hopes for the future. Cultural Topographies of the New Be…
Cultural Topographies of the New Berlin
Jamie H. Trnka. Revolutionary Subjects
Introduction
Cities have long challenged, captivated, and inspired the cultural imagination of their inhabitants and non-inhabitants alike. In contemporary society, urban areas seem to gain importance in every imaginable way and are recognized as privi- leged sites that engender, enable, and nourish creative endeavours, multicultural environments, economic mobility, and innovative responses to the challenges posed by capitalism and globalization. However, the…
Sun, Sex and Socialism
Although North Americans may not recognize it, Cuba has long shaped the German imaginary. Sun, Sex, and Socialism picks up this story from the early 1960s, detailing how the newly upstart island in the U.S. backyard inspired citizens on both sides of the Berlin Wall.By the 1970s, international rapprochements and repressions on state levels were stirring citizen disenchantment, discontent, and grassroots solidarities in all three nations. The Cold…
"Subaltern Nationalism" and the West Berlin Anti-Authoritarians
The West Berlin anti-authoritarians around Rudi Dutschke employed a notion of subaltern nationalism inspired by independence struggles in the global South and particularly by post 1959 Cuba to legitimate their loosely understood plans to recreate West Berlin as a revolutionary island. Responding to Che Guevara's call for many Vietnams, they imagined this Northern metropolis as a Focus spreading socialism of the third way throughout Europe, a conc…
Buena Vista Deutschland
The years following the fall of the Berlin Wall saw a wave of interest in a far away nation now largely independent of Soviet influence: Cuba. The three documentary fims that this article treats are a part of this "Cuba wave." Yet, as I argue here, more than simply tales of the Caribbean, Buena Vista Social Club by Wim Wenders and Havanna mi amor and Heirate mich! by Uli Gaulke and Jeannette Eggert are ciphers for competing and unpopular discours…
