Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-325) and index Charlie Chaplin, Hollywood's most famous film star, went almost unnoticed when he visited Berlin in 1921. Three years later, Jackie Coogan was mobbed by Berlin fans. Within two years after that, audiences were protesting with howls and angry whistling against the American motion pictures that dominated Berlin's leading theaters. Yet before the decade was over they were lining up to hear Al Jolson sing in their first experience of sound film. These roller-coaster reactions are engagingly documented by Thomas Saunders as he explores an outstanding example of one of this century's most important cultural developments: global Americanization through the motion picture. The setting is Berlin, the cultural heart of Central Europe and home of the only film industry after World War I to rival Hollywood's. The invasion by American films, which began in 1921 with overlapping waves of sensationalist serials, slapstick shorts, society pictures, and historical epics, initiated a decade of cultural collision and accommodation. It fueled an impassioned debate about the properties of cinema and the spectre of wholesale Americanization, while facilitating unprecedented levels of cultural and economic exchange American motion pictures not only entertained all social classes and film tastes in Weimar Germany but also served as a vehicle for American values and a source of sharp economic competition. In Hollywood in Berlin, Saunders examines the significance of Hollywood's presence in Germany through an analysis of the imported films and the commercial, social, and artistic discourses which they generated. He explores the phases of audience and critical appreciation of Hollywood - from avid curiosity and enthusiasm through growing disenchantment and saturation - as they relate to the ever-expanding front of the American film invasion. His fascinating discussion of Erich von Stroheim's Greed, which opened in Germany in 1926, shows how closely the violent reaction to the film on the part of critics and moviegoers alike paralleled the swelling fear of Amerikanismus and its perceived challenge to traditional German values. By correlating Hollywood's changing contribution to Weimar culture with the multiple contexts in which the films and their values were received, Hollywood in Berlin illuminates a vital moment of cultural encounter in the twentieth century. In addition, it successfully restores to the study of Weimar cinema its long-neglected international context and historicizes the ongoing struggle to safeguard the specificity of national cinemas from domination by Hollywood The setting: Weimar Germany and the motion picture -- German-American film relations: competition and cooperation -- Hollywood in Berlin: the initiation, 1921-1923 -- The Hollywood invasion: Amerikanismus and Amerikamudigkeit -- Excursus: popular culture and American hegemony -- Comic redemption: the slapstick synthesis -- German-American production in Hollywood and the meaning of national cinema -- The coming of sound and the waning of America |

Saunders Berkeley University of California Press ©1994 1 Online-Ressource (x, 332 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Weimar and now 6 Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-325) and index Charlie Chaplin, Hollywood's most famous film star, went almost unnoticed when he visited Berlin in 1921. Three years later, Jackie Coogan was mobbed by Berlin fans. Within two years after that, audiences were protesting with howls and angry whistling against the American motion pictures that dominated Berlin's leading theaters. Yet before the decade was over they were lining up to hear Al Jolson sing in their first experience of sound film. These roller-coaster reactions are engagingly documented by Thomas Saunders as he explores an outstanding example of one of this century's most important cultural developments: global Americanization through the motion picture. The setting is Berlin, the cultural heart of Central Europe and home of the only film industry after World War I to rival Hollywood's. The invasion by American films, which began in 1921 with overlapping waves of sensationalist serials, slapstick shorts, society pictures, and historical epics, initiated a decade of cultural collision and accommodation. It fueled an impassioned debate about the properties of cinema and the spectre of wholesale Americanization, while facilitating unprecedented levels of cultural and economic exchange American motion pictures not only entertained all social classes and film tastes in Weimar Germany but also served as a vehicle for American values and a source of sharp economic competition. In Hollywood in Berlin, Saunders examines the significance of Hollywood's presence in Germany through an analysis of the imported films and the commercial, social, and artistic discourses which they generated. He explores the phases of audience and critical appreciation of Hollywood - from avid curiosity and enthusiasm through growing disenchantment and saturation - as they relate to the ever-expanding front of the American film invasion. His fascinating discussion of Erich von Stroheim's Greed, which opened in Germany in 1926, shows how closely the violent reaction to the film on the part of critics and moviegoers alike paralleled the swelling fear of Amerikanismus and its perceived challenge to traditional German values. By correlating Hollywood's changing contribution to Weimar culture with the multiple contexts in which the films and their values were received, Hollywood in Berlin illuminates a vital moment of cultural encounter in the twentieth century. In addition, it successfully restores to the study of Weimar cinema its long-neglected international context and historicizes the ongoing struggle to safeguard the specificity of national cinemas from domination by Hollywood The setting: Weimar Germany and the motion picture -- German-American film relations: competition and cooperation -- Hollywood in Berlin: the initiation, 1921-1923 -- The Hollywood invasion: Amerikanismus and Amerikamudigkeit -- Excursus: popular culture and American hegemony -- Comic redemption: the slapstick synthesis -- German-American production in Hollywood and the meaning of national cinema -- The coming of sound and the waning of America Based on the author's thesis (doctoral) Geschichte 1918-1933 gnd rswk-swf PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / Reference bisacsh Motion pictures fast Motion pictures, American / Influence fast Motion pictures, German / Influence fast National characteristics, American fast National characteristics, German fast Film Geschichte Motion pictures Germany History Motion pictures, American Germany Influence Motion pictures, German United States Influence National characteristics, American, in motion pictures National characteristics, German, in motion pictures Film (DE-588)4017102-4 gnd rswk-swf Weimarer Republik (DE-588)4065109-5 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland USA Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Film (DE-588)4017102-4 s USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Geschichte 1918-1933 z 1\p DE-604 2\p DE-604 Weimarer Republik (DE-588)4065109-5 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 0-520-08354-7 (DE-604)BV009607909 Weimar and now 6 (DE-604)BV048802044 6 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=21346 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
