Exploring the address made to women in melodramatic films and in popular illustrated magazines, she shows how Weimar Germany had a commercially viable female audience, fascinated with looking at images that called traditional representations of gender into question. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Interdisciplinary in her approach, Petro interweaves archival research with recent theoretical debates to offer not merely another view of the Weimar cinema but also another way of looking at Weimar film culture. Women's modernity, she suggests, was not the same as men's modernism, and the image of the city street in film and photojournalism reveals how women responded differently from men to the political, economic, and psychic upheaval of their times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrice Petro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691008302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691008301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.12w x 0.64d","brand":"Patrice Petro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372304912639,"sku":"9780691008301","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54c50aa0-c6e1-4b4c-99c7-0930911dab42.jpg?v=1732725581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joyless-streets-patrice-petro-9780691008301","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
