IMPERIAL VISION - STEREOSCOPIC MASS CULTURE IN ...

The book approaches Wilhelmine Germany through the lens of one of its most popular forms of
visual mass entertainment: The Kaiser-Panorama offered its audiences a rich selection of
coloured  stereo-photographic imagery  contributing to forging both  a national self-image and
an imperial worldview. As a visual mass medium  the Kaiser-Panorama conveyed the
'aestheticisation of politics' (Walter Benjamin) in the Wilhelmine Era  while granting its
viewers broad access to new optical worlds. The book explores its contradictory and
intersecting role in the history of visual media by consulting prominent works of media theory.
