Kracauer on and in Weimar modernity -- "Location suggests content": Kracauer on the fringe of religious revival -- Reading the war, writing crisis -- From Copenhagen to Baker Street: Kracauer, Kierkegaard, and the detective novel -- Religion on the street: Kracauer and religious Fl?nerie -- Conclusion. Criticism in the negative church -- Afterword: from Don Quixote to Sancho Panza. 330 $a"The journalist and critic Siegfried Kracauer is best remembered today for his investigations of film and other popular media, and for his seminal influence on Frankfurt School thinkers like Theodor Adorno. Less well known is his earlier work, which offered a seismographic reading of cultural fault lines in Weimar-era Germany, with an eye to the confrontation between religious revival and secular modernity. In this discerning study, historian Harry T. Craver reconstructs and richly contextualizes Kracauer's early output, showing how he embodied the contradictions of modernity and identified the quasi-theological impulses underlying the cultural ferment on the 1920s."--$cProvided by publisher 410 0$aSpektrum (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aKracauer, Siegfried - Criticism and interpretation 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Germany$2bisacsh 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 610 $a1920s culture. 610 $a20th century. 610 $acinema. 610 $acinematography. 610 $acollege. 610 $acontemporary questions. 610 $acontextualizes kracauer. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aeuropean literature. 610 $afamous journalist. 610 $afilm and media. 610 $afilm history. 610 $afilm studies. 610 $afrankfurt school. 610 $agerman film. 610 $agerman movies. 610 $ajournalism. 610 $akracauer. 610 $alit crit. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $apop culture. 610 $apopular media. 610 $aquasi-theology. 610 $aschool. 610 $asecular modernity. 610 $atextbook. 610 $atheodor adorno. 610 $aweimar-era. 615 0$aKracauer, Siegfried - Criticism and interpretation. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Germany. 676 $a834/.912 686 $aMQ 3433$2rvk 700 $aCraver$b Harry T.$01598989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825714403321 996 $aReluctant skeptic$93921513 997 $aUNINA
