Demonstrates how perspective plays a key role, not only in photography, but in questions of mastering Germany's past as well. [I]nnovative and fascinating, quotes Robert C. Holub, University of California, Berkeley. After half a century, Germany's coming to terms with Nazism remains a subject of debate. This investigation of the photographic record shows that such debates have overlooked the actual conditions in which postwar German memory was first forged. The Allied forces that entered Germany at the close of World War II were looking for remorse and open admissions of guilt from the Germans. Instead, they saw arrogance, servility, and a population thoroughly brainwashed by Nazis. But photos from the period tell a more complex story. In fact, Dagmar Barnouw argues that postwar Allied and German photography holds many possible clues for understanding the recent German past.  A significant addition to the scholarship on postwar German culture and political identity, this book makes an important contribution to the current discussion of German memory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586008260881,"sku":"GOR011662971","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253330467.jpg?v=1751133060"},{"product_id":"weimar-intellectuals-and-the-threat-of-modernity-book-dagmar-barnouw-9780253364272","title":"Weimar Intellectuals and the Threat of Modernity","description":"\" . . . the range, power, and archival resourcefulness of Barnouw's book will make it impossible for anyone working in the field to ignore this powerful and disturbing historical meditation on the societal function and responsibility of the intellecutual.\" —The German Quarterly  \" . . . a work of real value for patient readers.\" —American Journal of Sociology  \" . . . a forceful and compelling thesis that challenges our understanding of several seminal figures writing during the first half of the century.\" —Monatshefte  In this challenging study of a complex period, Barnouw investigates the works of seven representative figures of the Weimar republic: Walter Rahtenau, Robert Musil, Thomas Mann, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Jünger, Hermann Broch, and Alfred Döblin.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49956276470033,"sku":"GOR013401559","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253364272.jpg?v=1763225483"},{"product_id":"germany-1945-book-dagmar-barnouw-9780253220431","title":"Germany 1945","description":"Photographers from the U.S. Army's Signal Corps were with the troops that drove back Hitler's troops and occupied Germany at the end of WWII. Soon photos of death camps and starving POWs shocked the home front, providing ample evidence of Nazi brutality. Yet did the faces of the defeated Germans show remorse? The victors saw only arrogance, servility, and the resentment of a population thoroughly brainwashed by the Nazis. In fact, argues Dagmar Barnouw, the photographs from this period tell a more complex story and hold many clues for a better understanding of the recent German past.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51000605868305,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000607703313,"sku":"NIN9780253220431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253220432.jpg?v=1752315997"},{"product_id":"visible-spaces-book-dagmar-barnouw-9780801862830","title":"Visible Spaces","description":"Hannah Arendt still makes people angry. Her writings on the modern German-Jewish experience are deliberately challenging -- and sometimes shocking -- to an audience used to thinking of the Jewish people as the victims of history. Visible Spaces is the most ambitious attempt to date to explore the origins and implications of Arendt's political thought. Dagmar Barnouw, an admiring yet critical reader, draws extensively on unpublished archival materials relating to the Jewish experience in modern Germany and its influence on Arendt's political philosophy. Arendt's work is discussed chronologically, from Origins of Totalitarianism to The Human Condition and the unfinished Life of the Mind. Barnouw also offers a challenging reassessment of Arendt's well-known report on the Eichmann trial. The result is an insightful study of Arendt's thought in its complex historical context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52139386503441,"sku":"NLS9780801862830","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780801862830.jpg?v=1757568823"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dagmar-barnouw.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
