Abstract

Recueil d'articles et de fragments écrits entre 1924 et 1933 où le philosophe se livre à une analyse de l'époque. Il décrit la vie des employés berlinois, victimes consentantes de la distraction, puis se penche sur le nazisme et l'imposture que représente son apparence révolutionnaire et, enfin, analyse les formes contemporaines d'avant-garde artistiques. ©Electre 2017

Abstract

Sabina Becker legt mit diesem Band eine große Kulturgeschichte der Weimarer Republik vor: als eigenständige Epoche mitsamt ihrer medientechnisch innovativen und soziologisch breit wirkenden kulturellen Moderne in Literatur, Theater, Architektur, Bildender Kunst, Musik und Tanz. Sie nimmt diese Zeit bewusst auf ihre mannigfaltigen, zum Teil explosionsartigen Entwicklungsprozesse und Lebensäußerungen hin in den Blick - ohne sie als krisenhafte >Zwischenkriegszeit<, >Inkubationsphase des Nationalsozialismus< oder Krisenjahre der >Klassischen Moderne< abzuwerten. Denn die Weimarer Kultur wird weniger von ihrem Ende her, also nicht vom Jahr der Machtübertragung aus erklärt, sondern vom Ersten Weltkrieg her verstanden. So kann Sabina Becker das künstlerisch Innovative und kulturell Bleibende dieses Jahrzehnts vergegenwärtigen und eindrucksvoll zeigen, warum die Epoche von Weimar für die deutsche Kulturgeschichte so wichtig ist und vielfach die Basis unseres heutigen Kunstverständnisses bildet.

Abstract

For poets, priests, and politicians -- and especially ordinary Germans -- in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the image of the loving nuclear family gathered around the Christmas tree symbolized the unity of the nation at large. German Christmas was supposedly organic, a product of the winter solstice rituals of pagan "Teutonic" tribes, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, and the age-old customs that defined German character. Yet, as Joe Perry argues, Germans also used these annual celebrations to contest the deepest values that held the German community together: faith, family, and love, certainly, but also civic responsibility, material prosperity, and national belonging. This volume explores the invention, evolution, and politicization of Germany's favorite national holiday. According to Perry, Christmas played a crucial role in public politics, as revealed in the militarization of "War Christmas" during World War I and World War II, the Nazification of Christmas by the Third Reich, and the political manipulation of Christmas during the Cold War. Perry offers a close analysis of the impact of consumer culture on popular celebration and the conflicts created as religious, commercial, and political authorities sought to control the holiday's meaning. By unpacking the intimate links between domestic celebration, popular piety, consumer desires, and political ideology, Perry concludes that family festivity was central in the making and remaking of public national identities.

Abstract

In the decades before the Second World War, popular musical theatre was one of the most influential forms of entertainment. This is the first book to reconstruct early popular musical theatre as a transnational and highly cosmopolitan industry that included everything from revues and operettas to dance halls and cabaret. Bringing together contributors from Britain and Germany, this collection moves beyond national theatre histories to study Anglo-German relations at a period of intense hostility and rivalry. Chapters frame the entertainment zones of London and Berlin against the wider trading routes of cultural transfer, where empire and transatlantic song and dance produced, perhaps for the first time, a genuinely international culture. Exploring adaptations and translations of works under the influence of political propaganda, this collection will be of interest both to musical theatre enthusiasts and to those interested in the wider history of modernism.

Popular culture and popular movements in reformation Germany.
