Marking Modern Movement

I've just learned that Susan Funkenstein's Marking Modern Movement: Dance and Gender in the Visual Imagery of the Weimar Republic is now available from University of Michigan Press! I can recommend this, as not only do I know Susan (I sat in on her Design History course when I was in grad school and we run into each other every now and then) but her PhD dissertation was useful to me in thinking about the importance of modern dance in Czech modernism and Czech feminism.

You can read more about it here, and you can get this book in any of three formats:

Paper | 6 x 9 | 342pp. 49 B&W Images, 28 Color Images, 1 Table.
ISBN 978-0-472-05461-9 | $39.95

Hardcover | 6 x 9 | 342pp. 49 B&W Images, 28 Color Images, 1 Table.

Geoffrey Fox Thanks for the recommendation. It's an aspect of the Weimar Republic that I had never considered. BTW, have you read TRANSIT (Anna Seghers)? Post Weimar, but that cultural explosion is in the background of the characters' tribulations in Marseille, 1940.

Karla Huebner I haven't yet read Transit but thanks for the recommendation!
