The essays in this collection delve into the German television series Babylon Berlin, examining its distinctive contribution to contemporary visual culture. Since its debut in 2017, the neo-noir thriller set in Berlin during the final years of the Weimar Republic has garnered widespread acclaim across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. As a visually rich work that incorporates historical and contemporary references, Babylon Berlin provides a panoramic perspective on politics, crime, culture, gender, and sexual relations in the German capital. With a focus on the intermedial and transhistorical dimensions of the series, across four parts—Babylon Berlin, Global Media and Fan Culture; The Look and Sound of Babylon Berlin; Representing Weimar History; and Weimar Intertexts—the volume brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars to critically explore various aspects of the show, including its aesthetic form and citation style, its representation of the history and politics of the late Weimar Republic, and its exemplary status as a blockbuster production of neoliberal media culture. By considering the series from the perspectives of various disciplines, Babylon Berlin, German Visual Spectacle, and Global Media Culture serves as an essential resource for students of film, TV, media studies, and visual culture, particularly those enrolled in German Studies, History, and European Studies programs.
