Books by Randall Halle

New essays exploring the surging field of experimental film in today's Germany and Austria.

Shows how cinema both reflects and engenders interzones that explore the important questions of Europe's social order: imperialism and nation-building in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; "first contact" between former adversaries (such as East and West Germany) following World War II and the Cold War.

A focused examination of German film's transformation from a national to transnational industry

Analyzes key texts in the tradition of German critical theory from the perspective of contemporary queer theory, exposing gender and sexuality restrictions that undermine those texts' claims of universal truth. This work aims to offer a contribution to contemporary debates about sexuality, civil society, and politics.
