19th/20th century opera, music and film (specifically: sound and silent movie operettas, MGM’s early musicals), music and media, music and literature, Tanztheater, entertainment and jazz music genres of the Weimar years, (digital) music editing, digital performance culture
My project, supervised by Prof. Laura Tunbridge, explores the social, media-related and cultural resonances found in sound movie operettas and revue films from Weimar’s Golden Years and the National Socialist Period (1929-1945). It will investigate how structural, political and economic modifications in Berlin’s early music and film industry enabled the dissemination and remediation of a commercially minded musical form beyond the borders of Germany and Austria.
