- Description
- The author takes a look at the crisis of gender in Weimar Germany through an analysis of selected cultural texts, both literary and film, characterized under the label 'New Objectivity'. The New objectivity was marked by a sober unsentimental embrace of urban modernity, in contrast to Expressionism's horror of technology and belief in auratic art. New Objectivity was best symbolized by the New Woman they feared and desired.
