Babylon Berlin Und Die Filmische (Re-)Modellierung Der 1920Er-Jahre: Medienkulturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven

This first volume from the series on modernity and media studies provides an insight into the dimensions and functional potential of a retrospective look at the 1920s. Focusing on Babylon Berlin, the contribu-tions explore the question of how society, culture, history and reality are constructed by the series and modelled aesthetically and narratively from a media and cultural studies perspective. Which systems of norms and values are created in the series, which problem constellations and solutions are negotiated, and which cinematic presentation strategies come into play? The project investigates and evaluates the series' dazzling and multifaceted, but by no means unproblematic, retrospective depiction of the Weimar Republic.
