Provisional Insight: Siegfried Kracauer in the 21st Century
Fri, July 18 – Sat, July 19
Monash Conference Centre, 30 Collins Street, Melbourne
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.
