Die moderne Populärkultur kam auf der Bühne zur Welt. Noch bevor Film und Radio sich etablierten, entwickelte sich das Unterhaltungstheater zu einer kommerziellen und grenzüberschreitenden Vergnügungsindustrie, die ein Massenpublikum erreichte. Tobias Becker vergleicht die Theaterlandschaften von Berlin und London und zeichnet den kulturellen Austausch zwischen diesen Metropolen im Zeitalter der ‚langen Jahrhundertwende‘ (1880 bis 1930) nach.

Nostalgia, supposedly, is the sphere of the sentimentalist. But also, and most definitely, it is a force in the creation of the present and future and thus worth careful thought. Yesterday argues that nostalgia's critics defend an idea of progress as naïve as the longing they denounce, while conflating nostalgia itself with historical whitewashing. --

"This book tells the story of the history of popular culture in Europe since 1800, providing a framework which challenges traditional associations that have formulated popular culture firmly in relation to the post-1945 period and the economic power of the USA. Focusing on key themes associated with modernity - secularization, industrialization, social cohesion and control, globalization and technological change - this synthesis of research across a very wide field fills a gap that has long been felt by students and educators working in the field of popular culture. While it is organized as a history of cultural forms, it can also be used across a wide range of social science and humanities programmes, including media and cultural studies, literary studies, sociology and European studies. Covering the subject with a broad number of themes, this book discusses popular culture through visual culture and performance, games, music, film, television, and video games. Popular Culture in Europe since 1800 will be of interest to anyone looking for an engaged but concise overview of how book production and reading practices, visual cultures, music, performance and sports and games developed across Europe in the modern period"--

Die moderne Populärkultur kam auf der Bühne zur Welt. Noch bevor Film und Radio sich etablierten, entwickelte sich das Unterhaltungstheater zu einer kommerziellen und grenzüberschreitenden Vergnügungsindustrie, die ein Massenpublikum erreichte. Tobias Becker vergleicht die Theaterlandschaften von Berlin und London und zeichnet den kulturellen Austausch zwischen diesen Metropolen im Zeitalter der ,langen Jahrhundertwende' zwischen 1880 und 1930 nach. Darauf aufbauend untersucht seine Studie, wie die zeitgenössischen gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Umwälzungen auf der Bühne dargestellt wurden. Denn das Theater modernisierte sich nicht nur, es reflektierte die Moderne zugleich. Inszenierte Moderne leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Mediengeschichte und zur Geschichte der europäischen Populärkultur wie auch zur Stadtgeschichte Berlins und Londons sowie zur Erforschung der deutsch-britischen Beziehungen.

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.
