{"product_id":"ruth-beckermann-german-language-edition-9783901644689","title":"Ruth Beckermann [German-language Edition]","description":"With her documentaries and essay films since the late 1970s, Viennese filmmaker Ruth Beckermann has created an exciting and widely recognized body of personal\/political cinema. Her work reflects on the relations between history and contemporaneity, on her life as a Jewish woman in postwar Austria and Europe, and on travelling and migration as modes of staying alive - literally as well as artistically. Beckermann's films speak about identity conflicts and the class struggle, about her family history in the Habsburg monarchy (\u003ci\u003eThe Paper Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e) and the war generation as it confronts the crimes of the Werhrmacht (\u003ci\u003eEast of War\u003c\/i\u003e). Most recently, she has turned her sights towards the deep love affair between two poets, Paul Celan und Ingeborg Bachmann, in 1950s Vienna (\u003ci\u003eThe Dreamed Ones\u003c\/i\u003e). This is the first book about Ruth Beckermann's multifaceted oeuvre, with original essays by critics and literary writers, rare illustrations and documents, and an in-depth conversation with the artist. Also included are Beckermann's reflections on her current project,\u003ci\u003e The Case of Kurt Waldheim\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Alexander Horwath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276913193211,"sku":"9783901644689","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783901644689_97907f50-0673-429a-b28a-5479cf5daedf.jpg?v=1772490705","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ruth-beckermann-german-language-edition-9783901644689","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
