On the day of his injury, he received a Dear John letter from his wife, Brenda, who has taken up with his best friend, James.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Shell Shock Cinema Weimar Culture and the Wounds of War【電子書籍】[ Anton Kaes ]

＜p＞＜strong＞How war trauma haunted the films of Weimar Germany＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞Shell Shock Cinema＜/em＞ explores how the classical German cinema of the Weimar Republic was haunted by the horrors of World War I and the the devastating effects of the nation's defeat. In this exciting new book, Anton Kaes argues that masterworks such as ＜em＞The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, The Nibelungen＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Metropolis＜/em＞, even though they do not depict battle scenes or soldiers in combat, engaged the war and registered its tragic aftermath. These films reveal a wounded nation in post-traumatic shock, reeling from a devastating defeat that it never officially acknowledged, let alone accepted.＜br /＞ Kaes uses the term "shell shock"ーcoined during World War I to describe soldiers suffering from nervous breakdownsーas a metaphor for the psychological wounds that found expression in Weimar cinema. Directors like Robert Wiene, F. W. Murnau, and Fritz Lang portrayed paranoia, panic, and fear of invasion in films peopled with serial killers, mad scientists, and troubled young men. Combining original close textual analysis with extensive archival research, Kaes shows how this post-traumatic cinema of shell shock transformed extreme psychological states into visual expression; how it pushed the limits of cinematic representation with its fragmented story lines, distorted perspectives, and stark lighting; and how it helped create a modernist film language that anticipated film noir and remains incredibly influential today.＜br /＞ A compelling contribution to the cultural history of trauma, ＜em＞Shell Shock Cinema＜/em＞ exposes how German film gave expression to the loss and acute grief that lay behind Weimar's sleek fa?ade.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The report focuses on various issues affecting the medical care and treatment of veterans who had returned from the war, including the management of physical injuries, mental health concerns, and the administrative and logistical challenges of the hospital system. Given the scale of the war and the number of soldiers affected by both physical wounds and the psychological toll of combat, this conference aimed to improve the quality and efficiency of care in the veteran hospitals and to streamline the resources and policies to better serve the men who had served in the war.Key topics likely discussed in the report include the establishment of new medical facilities, the training of hospital staff, and the implementation of specialized treatments for veterans suffering from conditions such as "shell shock" (now understood as PTSD). Additionally, there would have been attention paid to ensuring that veterans received proper benefits, including compensation and care, as well as creating a more organized system for handling the post-war medical and psychological needs of former soldiers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
