This academic work, Framing Attention: Windows on Modern German Culture, examines the evolving role and significance of windows as both literal and metaphorical frames within German culture from the 19th century to the post-reunification era. The author analyzes various cultural forms, including painting, theater, early cinema, subway systems, television, and architecture, to demonstrate how these "windows" have shaped and reflected changing modes of perception, social practices, and national identity. The study argues that these frames of attention have not only mediated views of the world but have also actively influenced how individuals and society have understood themselves and their relationship to modernity. By exploring diverse historical contexts, the book reveals the complex interplay between visual technologies, power structures, and subjective experience in shaping German cultural history.
