Constructing Jewish Bodies in Germany Through Physical Culture and Racial Pseudo-Science
Constructing Jewish Bodies in Germany through Physical Culture and Racial Pseudo-Science By: Marissa Alperin May, 2018 Abstract As industrialization heightened in Europe, so did science and technological innovation. The expanded focus on human biology, evolution and genetics coincided with the growth of racism in Europe. In Germany, one group of people who were subjugated, was the Jewish population. Since, Jewish racism was a phenomenon in Europe during the physical culture movement, scientific “findings” were used in Germany to suggest that the intellectual abilities and physical beauty of Jews were inferior to the Nordic race. As a result of social, political, economic, religious, and cultural factors, Jewish bodies were projected as being abnormal. Thus, pseudoscience was used as a tool for reinventing/protecting the German nation by preserving the blood of the glorious bodily conception of the German people. Keywords History, racism, pseudoscience, phrenology, physiognomy, eugenics, Jews, and Germany. During the physical culture movement in Europe (1850s-1920s), there was a desire to improve the health, strength, diet, athleticism, fitness, and appearance of the human body. The physical culture movement was centered on the natural living conditions of people (conditions of development and growth). In an effort to relieve human suffering caused by an increase in urbanization and industrialization and to heighten the prosperity and wellbeing of people, science and medicine were used by many Europeans, as instruments for improving health. The physical culture movement also inspired people to study and compare the physical beauty and intellectual attributes of the body to an individual’s race, in an effort to maximize the potential of the body. -

Angel Sings the Blues: Josef Von Sternberg's the Blue Angel in Context
FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 30, núm. 2 (2020) · ISSN: 2014-668X REVIEW ESSAYS . Angel Sings the Blues: Josef von Sternberg’s The Blue Angel in Context ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This essay reconsiders The Blue Angel (1930) not only in light of its 2001 restoration, but also in light of the following: the careers of Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings, and Marlene Dietrich; the 1905 novel by Heinrich Mann from which The Blue Angel was adapted; early sound cinema; and the cultural-historical circumstances out of which the film arose. In The Blue Angel, Dietrich, in particular, found the vehicle by which she could achieve global stardom, and Sternberg—a volatile man of mystery and contradiction, stubbornness and secretiveness, pride and even arrogance—for the first time found a subject on which he could focus his prodigious talent. Keywords: The Blue Angel, Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings, Marlene Dietrich, Heinrich Mann, Nazism. Resumen Este ensayo reconsidera El ángel azul (1930) no solo a la luz de su restauración de 2001, sino también a la luz de lo siguiente: las carreras de Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings y Marlene Dietrich; la novela de 1905 de Heinrich Mann de la cual se adaptó El ángel azul; cine de sonido temprano; y las circunstancias histórico-culturales de las cuales surgió la película. En El ángel azul, Dietrich, en particular, encontró el vehículo por el cual podía alcanzar el estrellato global, y Sternberg, un hombre volátil de misterio y contradicción, terquedad y secretismo, orgullo e incluso arrogancia, por primera vez encontró un tema en el que podía enfocar su prodigioso talento. -
The Astrological Imaginary in Early Twentieth–Century German Culture
The Astrological Imaginary in Early Twentieth–Century German Culture by Jennifer Lynn Zahrt A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Niklaus Largier, Co-Chair Professor Anton Kaes, Co-Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Spring 2012 ©2012 Jennifer Lynn Zahrt, All Rights Reserved. Abstract The Astrological Imaginary in Early Twentieth–Century German Culture by Jennifer Lynn Zahrt Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film University of California, Berkeley Professor Niklaus Largier, Co-Chair Professor Anton Kaes, Co-Chair My dissertation focuses on astrological discourses in early twentieth–century Germany. In four chapters, I examine films, literary texts, and selected academic and intellectual prose that engage astrology and its symbolism as a response to the experience of modernity in Germany. Often this response is couched within the context of a return to early modern German culture, the historical period when astrology last had popular validity. Proceeding from the understanding of astrology as a multiplicity of practices with their own histories, my dissertation analyzes the specific forms of astrological discourse that are taken up in early twentieth–century German culture. In my first chapter I examine the revival of astrology in Germany from the perspective of Oscar A. H. Schmitz (1873–1931), who galvanized a community of astrologers to use the term Erfahrungswissenschaft to promote astrology diagnostically, as an art of discursive subject formation. In my second chapter, I discuss how Paul Wegener’s Golem film cycle both responds to and intensifies the astrological and the occult revivals. -

ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 16 (2019) 35–58 DOI: 10.2478/ausfm-2019-0003 German Cinematic Expressionism in Light of Jungian and Post-Jungian Approaches Christina Stojanova University of Regina (Canada) E-mail: [email protected] “True symbolism occurs where the particular represents the more general […] as living, momentary revelation of the unfathomable .” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1949, no. 314. Abstract. Prerogative of what Jung calls visionary art, the aesthetics of German Expressionist cinema is “primarily expressive of the collective unconscious,” and – unlike the psychological art, whose goal is “to express the collective consciousness of a society” – they have succeeded not only to “compensate their culture for its biases” by bringing “to the consciousness what is ignored or repressed,” but also to “predict something of the future direction of a culture” (Rowland 2008, italics in the original, 189–90). After a theoretical introduction, the article develops this idea through the example of three visionary works: Arthur Robison’s Warning Shadows (Schatten, 1923), Fritz Lang’s The Weary Death aka Destiny (Der müde Tod, 1921), and Paul Leni’s Waxworks (Wachsfigurenkabinett, 1924). Keywords: Symbolism, Expressionism, semiotic vs. symbolic approach, psychological vs. visionary art, shadow, animus/anima, Faust- Mephistopheles dyad. This essay argues that the longevity of German Expressionist cinema as a unique expression of the complex historical, cultural, and psychological environment of the Weimar republic (1918–1933), is above all predicated on its sophisticated cinematic language, defined as “symbolic expression” of “illogical and irrational factors, transcending our omprehension,” which “cannot be dealt with rationally” (Jung qtd. in Smythe 2012, 151). -

After the Golem: Teaching Golems, Kabbalah, Exile, Imagination, and Technological Takeover. Abstract The golem is an elusive creature. From a religious perspective it enacts spirit entering matter, a creation story of potential salvation crossed with reprehensible arrogance. As a historical narrative, the golem story becomes a tale of Jewish powerlessness and oppression, of pogroms and ghettoization, of assimilation and exile, and sometimes, of renewal. As the subject of a course in women, gender and sexuality studies, the golem narrative can be seen as a relentless questioning of otherness and identity and as a revelation of the complex intersectionalities of gender, class, sexuality, race, disability, and ethnicity. -

Le ricordiamo che Liber potrà essere consultato dagli appassionati di libri sia in forma cartacea presso la Biblioteca sia in formato elettronico sul sito internet del Comune di Cirié. (www.cirie.net). Cineteca “Ugo Riccarelli” Pagina 2 Pagina 3 13 Tzameti Un film di Géla Babluani. Con George Babluani, Pascal Bongard, Aurélien Recoing, Fred Ulysse. Thriller - durata 93 minuti. - Francia, Georgia, 2005. Sébastien (Georges Babluani), un ragazzo come tanti, decide di seguire delle misteriose istruzioni indirizzate a qualcun altro, senza sapere dove queste lo porteranno. Finirà in un luogo di degenerazione e gioco d'azzardo clandestino, dove alcuni uomini scommet- tono su chi sopravvivrà alla roulette russa. Opera prima che ha fatto molto parlare nelle varie kermesse in cui è stata presenta, 13 Tzameti è un thriller che parte bene, salvo poi diventare piuttosto ridondante e poco originale con il passare dei mi- nuti. L'universo cinico e depravato che viene raccontato, dove i ricchi giocano (letteralmente) con la vita dei poveri, ha un suo fascino e non manca una (seppur piccola) interessante riflessione sociale. Ma l'andamento narrativo è un po' telefonato e la tensione si sente solo a tratti. Notevole la fotografia in bianco e nero ma, in fondo, la cornice vale più del quadro. -
“Inner Landscapes” of the Hallucinatory: Intertextuality and Rebirth in Herzog's Nosferatu
J.Y. (Jeong yun) Chun Professor Annette Insdorf FILM W3840x: Senior Seminar 22 January 2014 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! “Inner Landscapes” of the Hallucinatory: Intertextuality and Rebirth in Herzog’s Nosferatu ! ! ! ! ! ! Though neither knows where lie the nameless things of which the mystic signs give forth such hints; yet with me, as with the colt, somewhere those things must exist. Though in many aspects the visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright. – Herman Melville, Moby Dick, “The Whiteness of the Whale” (1851) ! ! While on the perilous ridge I hung alone, With what strange utterance did the loud dry wind Blow through my ear ! the sky seemed not a sky Of earth—and with what motion moved the clouds! – William Wordsworth, The Prelude (1888)! ! Von Morgen bis Abend, Between dawn and sunset in Müh’ und Angst, in toil and suffering nicht wonnig ward sie gewonnen! it was not blissfully won! Es naht die Nacht. Night draws on. – Richard Wagner, Das Rheingold (1851-3) !1 If Richard Wagner begins with a hallucination of gestures,1 Werner Herzog begins with a hallucination of landscapes. Central to these points of departure is a certain tension between the material and immaterial, the notional and sensational, the naturally occurring and possibly inspired—polar distinctions first suggested by the term aísthēsis and all revitalized by Herzog’s own film aesthetic.2 To experience Nosferatu – Phantom der Nacht (Nosferatu the Vampyre, 1979) is to feel the seemingly incongruous sense of submersion in an illusory dream -
