Colloquium Description

At the start of the 21st Century this colloquium will draw together
scholars from a diverse range of fields to provide a forum in which
the actuality of Siegfried Kracauer's writings can be analysed,
debated and explored. Through a detailed engagement with his writings
on topics as diverse as film, photography, architecture, popular
culture and history, the colloquium will seek to illuminate the many
continuities and shifts in Kracauer's thinking that span his early
Weimar writings, his work in the immediate post-war period, and the
books that he wrote while living in exile in the USA in the 1950s and

1960s.
