Inhaltsangabe

This work brings together film specialists from Europe and the United States to explore German film history from the late 19th to the early 21st century. It re-evaluates traditional areas of interest in German cinema (such as Weimar cinema, Nazi propaganda, and New German Cinema), and looks at neglected aspects, including early cinema, the cinema of the GDR, popular genre traditions, questions of national cinema and identity, and German film's transnational connections to Hollywood, as well as to exile and migrant cinemas. It places particular emphasis on genres and stars in the wider context of state and industry at home and abroad. The collection comprises five thematic sections: popular cinema; stars; institutional and cultural frameworks; cultural politics; and transnational connections.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

?The German Cinema Book brings together film specialists from Europe and the United States to explore German film history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. This comprehensive text re-evaluates traditional areas of interest in German Cinema (such as Weimar cinema, Nazi propaganda, New German Cinema) and complements this with a fresh look at hitherto neglected aspects, including Early Cinema, the cinema of the GDR, popular genre traditions, questions of national cinema and identity, and German film's transnational connections to Hollywood, as well as to exile and migrant cinemas.

Corresponding to wider shifts in critical debates, the book places particular emphasis on genres and stars in the wider context of state and industry at home and abroad.

The collection comprises five thematic sections: Popular Cinema; Stars; Institutions and Cultural Contexts; Cultural Politics; and Transnational Connections. Each section follows an internal chronological order enabling the reader to perceive the continuities of German cinema across different decades. They are accompanied by a substantial bibliography and resources section detailing print and online sources for films and related materials.

Broad-ranging and accessible, The German Cinema Book will appeal to a wide variety of readers, from students and scholars of German Studies, Film and Cultural Studies to the dedicated film enthusiast.
