  • Time Lag of Defa-Futurum: a Socialist Cine-Futurism from East Germany
    The Time Lag of Defa-Futurum: A Socialist Cine-Futurism from East Ger­ many The Time Lag of Defa-Futurum: A Socialist Cine-Futur­ ism from East Germany Doreen Mende The Oxford Handbook of Communist Visual Cultures Edited by Aga Skrodzka, Xiaoning Lu, and Katarzyna Marciniak Subject: Literature, Literary Theory and Cultural Studies, Literary Studies - 20th Century On­ wards Online Publication Date: Jan 2020 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190885533.013.11 Abstract and Keywords On April 23, 1975, at Karl Marx University in Leipzig, the East German filmmaker Joachim Hellwig (1932–2014) and scriptwriter Claus Ritter (1929–1995), both initiators and authors of the artistic working group defa-futurum, defended their collectively writ­ ten practice-based PhD on the “artistic forms for imagining a socialist future by the means of film under specific consideration of the experiences of the working group defa- futurum.” Strongly influenced by Hellwig’s antifascist projects and nonfictional documen­ tary practice, defa-futurum demonstrates a specific concern for a Marxist cybernetics with regard to creative thinking, labor, love, and political work. The latter is elaborated in greater detail by engaging with the forgotten writings of the philosopher Franz Loeser. Defa-futurum allowed the idea of film-as-theory to endorse the GDR as a sovereign state— promoting also an East German socialist internationalism—under the conditions of the global Cold War by the means of cinema. By using methods from visual culture and cul­ tural studies to facilitate a decolonizing analysis of defa-futurum’s films, Stasi files, archival material, and original writings, the article aims to argue that decolonizing social­ ism is necessary in order to break through the Cold War’s binary limits for understanding technopolitics, art, and social realities in the post-1989 world.

By Jennifer L. Creech. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2016. Pp. xxi + 280. Paper $38.00. ISBN 978- 0253023018. The tension between gender and socialism is inherent in many DEFA films. The first DEFA children’s film, Gerhard Lamprecht’s Irgendwo in Berlin (1946), ends with a group of boys helping Gustav’s father rebuild his automobile workshop. The only girl present, Lotte, is tasked with holding Uncle Kalle’s coat and does not participate in the reconstruction efforts. The scene’s implication that women would be excluded from building East Germany’s future is a gender-blind oversight on the filmmaker’s part. At the end of Konrad Wolf’s Der geteilte Himmel (1964), Rita chooses to subordinate her sexual desire to the collective good by returning from Berlin-West. Yet GDR studies with a feminist bent have engaged more extensively with GDR women’s literature than with DEFA films.

Un- like most GDR filmmakers trained exclusively in Babelsberg, she studied in Moscow for seven years from 1960–67 at the renowned All-Union State Insti- tute of Cinematography (VGIK) under distinguished Soviet director Mikhail Romm2. She worked briefly in GDR television before becoming a directorial assistant for Wolfgang Bartsch’s documentary Gestern und die neue Stadt (Yes- terday and the New City, 1969) and Konrad Wolf’s Goya–oder Der arge Weg der Erkenntnis (Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment, 1971). In contrast to most filmmakers of her generation who served as assistants for years until they were finally able to work independently, in 1972 at age 31 she directed her first film Die Taube auf dem Dach (The Dove on the Roof ) based on her own screenplay3. The film was banned, but she was immediately given a new project directing the church and state drama Einer trage des anderen Last (Bear Ye One Another’s Burden) with a screenplay by Wolfgang Held. The project, however, was terminated one month before shooting began and it would take 1 Along with Gusner, female feature film directors at DEFA included Ingrid Reschke and Evelyn Schmidt and children’s film directors Bärbl Bergmann and Hannelore Unterberg.

  • Fall 2012 the AMBASSADOR
    Volume XIV Fall 2012 THE AMBASSADOR Department of World languages and cultures Notes from the Chair Studying abroad: Why? It’s fall, pre-registration is around the corner, and students are beginning to come by to discuss their study abroad courses for spring semester. But why should students study abroad? For students studying a language or two, the answer is obvious: the immersion experience is essential to fuller language acquisition. Vocabulary and slang, the closer-to-real accent, improved comprehension and improved fluency are all gains made more quickly through a true immersion experience. But is that all? What other benefits are there, for language students or even for the strictly Anglophone student? Mark Twain, famous American and consummate Studying abroad is not just a chance to try wit, said “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow foreign delicacies like paella or alfajores, it is a -mindedness.” Henry Miller, an author famous for his way to learn about ourselves. scandalous escapades and censured novels based in Paris, observed that “one’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” That new way of seeing things broadens our view and deepens our understanding. Sure, we enjoy the pain au chocolate in Paris, the paella in Barcelona, the alfajores of Argentina, the beer and wine available to the under twenty-one. But we also learn to see ourselves, and our nation, through the eyes of others. To return to Mark Twain: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
