Kracauer Siegfried

Summary

Siegried Kracauer: Furnished

Kracauer wrote a study of "white-collar workers" in a drinkable, reportage style, three years before Hitler came to power. He does not mention it explicitly, but as we read about the millions of "spiritual homeless" who crowded German cities, and seek temporary salvation from office work and the vanity of everyday life in bars, sports and "glamour", we uneasily recognize the reasons for the mass acceptance of National Socialism. The discomfort is all the greater as we recognize the elements of the modern world dominated by corporations, consumerism and spectacle, obsession with youth and self-representation. With an afterword by Walter Benjamin, The Furnished appears for the first time in a Croatian translation.
Siegfried Kracauer (1889–1966), German sociologist, film theorist, cultural critic, journalist. He was editor-in-chief of the Frankfurter Zeitung's feuilleton, a research associate at the MoMA Film Library in New York, and director of research at the Department of Applied Social Research at Columbia University. His notable works are Ornament der Masse, From Caligari to Hitler and Theory of Film.
