Entertaining German Culture
Contemporary Transnational Television and Film In an increasingly transnational production of film and television, Entertaining German Culture explores and contextually thematizes a radical shift in the past fifteen years towards a profound appreciation of German cultural and intellectual history in the international mainstream. Audiences for contemporary German film and television are becoming increasingly transnational, and depictions of German cultural history are moving beyond the typical post-war focus on Germany’s problematic past. Entertaining German Culture explores this radical shift, building on recent research into transnational culture to argue that a new process of internal and external cultural reabsorption is taking place through areas of mutually assimilating cultural exchange such as streaming services, an increasingly international film market, and the import and export of Anglo-American media formats.
