Evelyn Preuss is finishing her dissertation on East German cinema at Yale University. In addition, she is pursuing a project on neoliberalism and globalization(s) that examines the political effects of globalized media and culture and asks to what extent art can provide alternative, inclusiveplatforms for building political and social consensus.

She has published on East German Cinema, the intersection of media, architecture and politics, as well as on the disparity between Eastern and Western perspectives in a number of journals and anthologies. Lisa Haegele is assistant professor of German at Texas State University PATRICIA ANNE SIMPSON is Professor of German at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. PRISCILLA LAYNE is Professor of German, with an adjunct appointment in African, African American and Diaspora Studies, at the University of North Carolina.

[A]bly edited by [Christina] Gerhardt and Marco Abel, [this volume] auspiciously brings together the work of scholars based in Europe and North America (still a rarity in German film studies). . . . A particular strength of the collection is its detailed attention to film feminisms.
