A Critical History of German Film
ISBN: 9781571134684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A history of German film dealing with individual films as works of art has long been needed. Existing histories tend to treat cinema as an economic rather than an aesthetic phenomenon; earlier surveys that do engage with individual films do not include films of recent decades. This book treats representative films from the beginnings of German film to the present. Providing historical context through an introduction and interchapters preceding the treatments of each era's films, the volume is suitable for semester- or year-long survey courses and for anyone with an interest in German...

German Literary Culture at the Zero Hour
ISBN: 9781571134103 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, German intellectuals and writers were forced to confront perhaps the most difficult complex of problems ever faced by modern intellectuals in the western world: the complete defeat and devastation of their country, the crimes of the Hitler dictatorship, the onset of the Cold War, and ultimately the political division of the nation. To a large extent these debates took place in literature and literary discourse, and they continue to have pressing relevance for Germany today, when the country is rediscovering and exploring this previously...

Nuremberg: The Imaginary Capital
ISBN: 9781571133458 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nuremberg: The Imaginary Capital is a broad study of German cultural history since 1500, with particular emphasis on the period since 1800. It explores the ways in which Germans have imagined Nuremberg as a cultural and spiritual capital, focusing feelings of national identity and belonging on the city -- or on their image of it. Chapters focus on the city of Durer and Sachs at the threshold of the modern era, the glory of which became the basis for all the other imaginary Nurembergs; the Romantic rediscovery of the city in the late 18th century and the institutionalization of Nuremberg...

The Freest Country in the World: East Germany\'s Final Year in Culture and Memory
ISBN: 9781640141544 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shows that while the GDR is generally seen as - and mostly was - an oppressive and unfree country, from late 1989 until autumn 1990 it was the "freest country in the world": the dictatorship had disappeared while the welfare system remained. Stephen Brockmann's new book explores the year 1989/1990 in East Germany, arguing that while the GDR is generally seen as - and was for most of its forty years - an oppressive and unfree country, from autumn 1989 until the autumn of 1990 it was the "freest country in the world," since the dictatorship had disappeared while the welfare system remained....

The Writers' State: Constructing East German Literature 1945-1959
ISBN: 9781571139535 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twenty-five years after the demise of the German Democratic Republic, there is perhaps more scholarship being produced on all aspects of that country than ever. This is true also in the field of literary studies, but especially in English-language literary scholarship there has been a strong imbalance toward a focus on the last three decades of GDR literature. The literature of the earlier GDR has mostly been dismissed or ignored by scholars, as the discontinuities between the early and late GDR have been emphasized over the considerable continuities. This book seeks to redress that state of...

Heroes and Heroism in German Culture: Essays in Honor of Jost Hermand April 2000
ISBN: 9789042014565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As Brecht's Galileo observed, a country which needs heroes is unfortunate indeed - words which suggest that a society's need for heroes is always a function of its shortcomings. By examining the role that heroes and heroism have played in German literature and culture over the past two centuries, the essays in this volume illuminate and contour both a flawed German society in need of heroes and the flawed but essential heroes brought forth by that society. Beginning in he era of the anti-Napoleontic Wars of Liberation, advancing to the challenging situation Germany faced at the end of World...
