{"product_id":"berlin-in-focus-barbara-becker-cantarino-9780275955076","title":"Berlin in Focus: Cultural Transformations in Germany","description":"This collection of essays breaks new ground in looking at Berlin after the fall of the Wall as the city struggles to re-establish itself as the cultural and political capital of Germany. The essays offer insightful readings of the metropolis, its people and institutions, as a paradigm for modern Germany. They focus on important cultural developments and changes as they occurred especially, but not exclusively, in Berlin. Issues explored include women's role in the restructuring of higher education in Berlin, the impact of State Security at Humboldt University, problems of a growing immigrant population, and the innovative counter-culture ventures in the Prenzlauer Berg district. Other chapters address major cinematic responses to the city by reknowned filmmakers Wim Wenders, Walter Ruttman, and Helke Sander; and the representation of Berlin and the Berlin Wall in modern fiction. This volume makes an important contribution to the discourse on German identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Becker-Cantarino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275955079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275955076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.24w x 0.84d","brand":"Barbara Becker-Cantarino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135958659327,"sku":"9780275955076","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e5ae785-4b08-4b13-bf9a-328969a4c0b2.jpg?v=1770159576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/berlin-in-focus-barbara-becker-cantarino-9780275955076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
