  • Post-1990 Screen Memories: How East and West German Cinema Remembers the Third Reich and the Holocaust
    German Life and Letters 59:2 April 2006 0016–8777 (print); 1468–0483 (online) POST-1990 SCREEN MEMORIES: HOW EAST AND WEST GERMAN CINEMA REMEMBERS THE THIRD REICH AND THE HOLOCAUST DANIELA BERGHAHN ABSTRACT The following article examines the contribution of German feature films about the Third Reich and the Holocaust to memory discourse in the wake of German unifi- cation. A comparison between East and West German films made since the 1990s reveals some startling asymmetries and polarities. While East German film-makers, if they continued to work in Germany’s reunified film industry at all, made very few films about the Third Reich, West German directors took advantage of the recent memory boom. Whereas films made by East German directors, such as Erster Verlust and Der Fall Ö, suggest, in liberating contradiction to the anti-fascist interpretation of history, that East Germany shared the burden of guilt, West German productions subscribe to the normalisation discourse that has gained ideological hegemony in the East-West-German memory contest since unification. Films such as Aimée & Jaguar and Rosenstraße construct a memory of the past that is no longer encumbered by guilt, principally because the relationship between Germans and Jews is re-imag- ined as one of solidarity. As post-memory films, they take liberties with the trau- matic memory of the past and, by following the generic conventions of melodrama, family saga and European heritage cinema, even lend it popular appeal. I. FROM DIVIDED MEMORY TO COMMON MEMORY Many people anticipated that German reunification would result in a new era of forgetfulness and that a line would be drawn once and for all under the darkest chapter of German history – the Third Reich and the Holocaust.

  • Images of Ambivalence: Photography in Margarethe Von Trotta's Die
    Graduate Journal of Visual and Material Culture Issue 6 | 2013 Images of Ambivalence: Photography in Margarethe von Trotta’s Die bleierne Zeit Daniel Norford Abstract Taking John Tagg’s intervention in “Evidence, Truth and Order: Photographic Records and the Growth of the State” as its principle point of departure, this paper will investigate the hybrid meanings of photographic imagery in New German Women’s Cinema. Of particular interest will be the marked instances of photographic portraiture in Helma Sanders-Brahm’s Under the Pavement Lies the Strand (1974) and Margarethe von Trotta’s Marianne and Juliane (1981). Drawing from the student movements of ’68 and their aftermath, the crisis of terrorism, the specter of state surveillance and the complex struggles of the feminist movement, my argument will also move in the direction of seeing these phenomena in the context of much broader historical developments in institutional practices across the spectrum of social life. More specifically, I will attempt to articulate and explore the complex inter-textuality that informs the appearance of photographic images in these films, arriving at a perspective that reckons with the over- determined role of photography in modern society. In this way, the photographic image enfolds and disseminates an ambivalent and contradictory set of discourses that resist both state practices of social control, and leftist attempts (in the realms of cinema and art photography) to dramatize a counter-photographic practice. In Derridean terms, then, photography—and in particular portrait photography—is always somewhere “in-between” the discourses which attempt to pinpoint and define it. As such, it (and cinema) is always haunted by a trace-structure which leaves it open to both progressive and regressive lines of flight.

  • To Download SEARCHING for INGMAR BERGMAN
    SYNOPSIS Internationally renowned director Margarethe von Trotta examines Ingmar Bergman’s life and work with a circle of his closest collaborators as well as a new generation of filmmakers. This documentary presents key components of his legacy, as it retraces themes that recurred in his life and art and takes us to the places that were central to Bergman’s creative achievements. DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY The daughter of Elisabeth von Trotta and the painter Alfred Roloff, Margarethe von Trotta was born in Berlin in 1942 and spent her childhood in Düsseldorf. After fine art studies, she moved to Munich to study Germanic and Latin language. She then joined a school for dramatic arts and began an acting career, in the theatres of Düsseldorf and afterwards in the Kleines Theater of Frankfurt in 1969 and 1970. At the end of the 1960 she moved in Paris for her studies and immersed herself in the film-lover circles of the time. She took part in script redacting and directing of short films and discovered via the Nouvelle Vague directors and critics the films of Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock. In Germany, Margarethe von Trotta has worked with a new generation of young filmmakers: Herbert Achternbusch, Volker Schlöndorff who she married in 1971 and with whom she directed and wrote The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach (1971) and The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum (1975), as well as Rainer Werner Fassbinder who made her act in four of his films. She directed in 1978 her first long feature, The Second Awakening of Christa Klages.

  • 1 Through Rosa-Colored Glasses: Rosa Luxemburg As
    THROUGH ROSA-COLORED GLASSES: ROSA LUXEMBURG AS A FEMINIST ICON By JANET MELISSA ROBY A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2012 1 © 2012 Janet Melissa Roby 2 To My Parents 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this thesis would have been unimaginable without the support of the following people. First and foremost, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to my extraordinary committee members, Dr. Peter Bergmann, Dr. Alice Freifeld, and Dr. Sheryl Kroen, for the countless ways in which they have assisted me throughout my graduate studies and for never once doubting my capabilities, when facing both the normal setbacks of graduate study as well as the personal challenges of chronic illness. Dr. Bergmann and Dr. Freifeld have always encouraged me to pursue my interdisciplinary interests, on which this project is based. I am also particularly grateful for the unwavering support of Dr. Kroen, who originally suggested that I look into the work of Rosa Luxemburg. I am also grateful for the guidance and support of Dr. Stuart Finkel. Although his influence cannot be clearly felt in this particular research project, he has played an important role in my intellectual development. Last but not least, I would like to extend my thanks to my family and friends. I remain grateful to my wonderful parents for their support of all my efforts, scholarly and otherwise. I also wish to thank Toby Shorey for friendship beyond measure. Our conversations have guided my thinking and therefore this thesis in many interesting ways.

We believe in a new cinema!” Out of this movement to overcome the 1950s legacies of fascism emerged a wave of filmmaking that became internationally known as New German Cinema. Its filmmakers were indebted to the student movement and a vision of filmmaking and distribution based on the notion of the director as auteur. This course offers a survey of the films from this brief period of enormous output and creativity, including the films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Alexander Kluge, Helke Sander, Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, and Wim Wenders. We will trace the influence of the women's movement on feminist aesthetics and situate the films’ negotiations of history and memory in postwar West German politics. Required reading: Julia Knight.

  • Ontologizing the Public Realm: Arendt and the Political
    123 Ontologizing the Public Realm – Arendt and the Political Cecilia Sjöholm Within the tradition of German philosophy, the idea of a public realm has incarnated the possibilities of emancipation and enligh- tenment. To Immanuel Kant, the public sphere opened up in the eighteenth century represents a victory of reason over private interests. To Jürgen Habermas, the debates that are undertaken within the public sphere represent a promise of democracy. In this latter interpretation, the possibilities for communication are con- ditioned by the public realm, and the possibilities of democracy are conditioned by the communication taking place in the public realm; the goal of democracy is to make it possible, for as many people as possible, to participate in public debates. To Habermas as for Kant, the public sphere represents the possibilities of eman- cipation; we participate in open discussion and debate with a kind of unaffected enthusiasm where we are able to transcend our pri- vate interests, thereby participating in the realm of freedom opened up by the modern discovery of normativity. In a similar way, Hannah Arendt idealised the polis of ancient Greece as a retrospective vision of political freedom. But to Arendt, the political impact of the public realm is less about the trajectory of modernity, the realization of reason or normative language. It is, rather, an ontologized vision of how our concepts of reality and truth arise. Rather than defining human reality as a product of The Human, Arendt’s describes it as the product of CECILIA SJÖHOLM plurality. Through the gathering of perspectives which are realized in and through public realm, in its historical versions as given in the polis, the res publica and so on, what Arendt calls reality comes into being.

  • 1 Modular Narratives in Contemporary Cinema
    Notes 1 Modular Narratives in Contemporary Cinema 1. Evan Smith also notes the success during the late 1990s of films featuring complex narrative structures, in terms of ‘impressive reviews, Oscar wins, and dollar-for-dollar returns’ (1999, 94). 2. Lev Manovich argues that narrative and database are two distinct and com- peting cultural forms: ‘the database represents the world as a list of items, and it refuses to order this list. In contrast, a narrative creates a cause-and-effect trajectory of seemingly unordered items (events)’ (2001b, 225). As I discuss in Chapter 2, Manovich’s argument must be qualified by an understanding of narrative’s ability to make use of the database for its own ends. 3. Manuel Castells, for example, argues that the dominant temporality of today’s ‘network society’, produced through technologization, globalization and instantaneous communication, is ‘timeless time’ (2000, 494): ‘Time is erased in the new communication system when past, present, and future can be programmed to interact with each other in the same message’ (406). 4. Ricoeur’s analysis centres upon Mann’s The Magic Mountain (1924), Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (1913–27). 5. Syuzhet patterning, argues Bordwell, is medium-independent; the same pat- tern could be reproduced, for example, across literature, theatre and cinema (1985, 49). 6. In his treatment of order, duration and frequency, Bordwell is drawing upon the work of narratologist Gérard Genette. Like Bordwell, Genette distin- guishes between the narrative content (‘story’) and the way this content is organized and expressed (‘discourse’) (1980, 27).
