ORT UND ZEIT - MICHAEL WEDEL KARTONIERT (TB)

Like every history  the history of film can be grasped not just as a temporal phenomenon  but
also within the specificity with which it has inscribed itself into concrete places. The
question of how this has occurred at different points in German film history forms the starting
point of this book. Using five examples  it explores the social and political horizons of
heterotopic concepts of space in German film from the 1930s to the 1990s: Hamburg in Werner
Hochbaum's A Girl Goes Ashore [Ein Mädchen geht an Land]  East Berlin in Günter Reisch's Ein
Lord am Alexanderplatz  Munich in the early works of Wim Wenders  the passage from New York to
Athens and Santorini via Berlin in Rudolf Thome's Die Sonnegöttin  and the reunified Berlin in
Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run [Lola rennt]. The main points of interest are the poetological
devices the films use to portray their settings. By uniting topology and film aesthetics  this
book opens up spaces of historic experience that provide film historiography with new insights.
