Description:
German Ways of War explores the production of novel spaces and evocation of new affects in the war-film genre between the 1910s and 2000s. Beyond the conventional pairing of visuality and violence, war films combine mobility, landscape, territory, scales, and topological networks into "affective geographies" that interweave narratively-generated affect, space, and political processes.
Review Quotes: "German Ways of War is an engaging text that charts out a captivating genre history that extends far beyond its immediate scope of German War films. The book is written as a fascinating account to how warfare changed in the twentieth century. . . The project is meticulously researched and provides invaluable political, historical, and legal documentation regarding war and peace policies in Germany."--Nora M. Alter "author of Projecting History: German Nonfiction Cinema 1967-2000"
