Afterword
Provincialising Weimar culture — and thinking about Weimar and Now/Today — are important, intertwined agendas. Nicholas Baer, Jochen Hung and Britta Schilling have invited the authors of this special issue to think about cultural artefacts in interwar Germany while engaging with two meanings of ‘provincialising’. One is following Dipesh Chakrabarty's critique of European and Western historical thought and practice that has so often consigned the …
Between Marx and Coca-Cola
In the 1960s and 1970s, Western Europe's "Golden Age" (Eric Hobsbawm), a new youth consciousness emerged, which gave this period its distinctive character. Offering rich and new material, this volume moves beyond the easy conflation of youth culture and "Americanization" and instead sets out to show, for the first time, how international developments fused with national traditions to produce specific youth cultures that became the leading trendse…

The Modern Girl around the World
Our research collaboration examines how the Modern Girl emerged as a global phenomenon in the first half of the twentieth century. By wearing provocative fashions and pursuing romantic love, Modern Girls everywhere appeared to disregard the roles of dutiful daughter, wife and mother. We develop the Modern Girl as a heuristic category that allows new insights into forces of globalisation and manifestations of gendered modernity. Through a case stu…

Jazz, Rock, and RebelsCold War Politics and American Culture in a Divided Germany
In the two decades after World War II, Germans on both sides of the iron curtain fought vehemently over American cultural imports. Uta G. Poiger traces how westerns, jeans, jazz, rock 'n' roll, and stars like Marlon Brando or Elvis Presley reached adolescents in both Germanies, who eagerly adopted the new styles. Poiger reveals that East and West German authorities deployed gender and racial norms to contain Americanized youth cultures in their o…
