Audiences for contemporary German film and television are becoming increasingly transnational, and depictions of German cultural history are moving beyond the typical post-war focus on Germany’s problematic past. Entertaining German Culture explores this radical shift, building on recent research into transnational culture to argue that a new process of internal and external cultural reabsorption is taking place through areas of mutually assimilating cultural exchange such as streaming services, an increasingly international film market, and the import and export of Anglo-American media formats.
Stephan Ehrig is a Lecturer in German at the University of Glasgow. He previously taught at the universities of Bristol, Durham, and University College Dublin. He is the author of The Dialectical Kleist (Transcript, 2018) and is coeditor of The GDR Today: New Interdisciplinary Approaches to East German History, Memory and Culture (Peter Lang, 2018) and Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration, Community, and Cohabitation (Leuven UP, 2022).
