Více o knize

Focusing on Siegfried Kracauer's early work, this study highlights his exploration of cultural tensions in Weimar-era Germany, particularly the clash between religious revival and secular modernity. Historian Harry T. Craver reconstructs Kracauer's contributions, illustrating how he captured the complexities of modernity and revealed the quasi-theological motivations that fueled the cultural dynamics of the 1920s. Through this analysis, the book sheds light on Kracauer's influence on later thinkers and the broader cultural landscape of his time.
