An issue of: New German Critique

In this special issue, contributors explore the interface of screens, photography, film, and visual documentation in popular culture. Topics covered include an early media genealogy of screen culture in early twentieth-century Weimar; Adorno’s rare reflections on architecture and the possibility of a collective “good life” in postwar Germany; documentation and its shortcomings in Austrian attempts to memorialize the war; the uncanny photos of abandoned Jewish homes under Nazism; the culture industry’s ongoing fascination with Nazism; and the poetics of screenwriting among German authors in the postwar era.

Contributors: Norman Ächtler, Noam M. Elcott, Jakub Gortat, Daniel H. Magilow, Shira Miron, Lynnette Widder
