Abstract

In this Festschrift commemorating Christina von Braun’s 65th birthday, former students of the cultural scientist dedicate themselves to the crisis of culture after the turn of the century around 1900 and to the phenomenon of the ‘abnormal,’ as it can, for example, be found in constructions of vamps, perverts, and primitives. The articles discuss topics from a very diverse range of realms such as everyday life, media (films by Murnau and Lubitsch, among others), academia (e.g. Freud and Haeckel), religion and art (Marquis de Sade and Stefan Zweig, among others).
