A critical history of post-new German cinema, 1988-1995

Abstract

This thesis is a study of German cinema of the late 1980s to mid 1990s. The complex relationship between this period of German filmmaking and the earlier body of German fihns collectively known as the New German Cinema is fundamental to the thesis, and is reflected in the choice of term 'post-New German Cinema' in its title. Post-New German Cinema is considered from a variety of perspectives. The starting point of the thesis is an examination of how certain paradigms within contemporary 61m historiography impact upon the narration of German film history. Post-New German Cinema is then considered in terms of economic, industrial and political structures which have underpinned this form of cultural production. Following this, discourses in which notions of post-New German Cinema have been constructed by various writers and institutions are discussed in detail. Finally, m^or tendencies within post-New German Cinema are identified and explored in a series of case studies examining key figures and texts.
