Roaring Twenties, Girls, 1918, Berlin

A historic recording of a private group of young women at a party. The time falls within the so-called Roaring Twenties in Berlin. A beautiful contemporary document which also affects the hair, fashion and costumes of the drinking girls. The meeting place was in the Grosse Hamburger street in Berlin.

The Grosse Hamburger street in Berlin's Mitte district close to Hackescher Markt, Rosa-Luxemburg Platz. It contained the oldest Jewish cemetery in Berlin. The Jewish synagogue in the Oranienburger Street was a stone's throw away. This shows more of the old part of Berlin in the form of small, narrow houses are situated between the tenements. Originally called the barn area, as the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm, 1670, settled the barns outside the city walls of Berlin in order to reduce the fire hazard. From about 1700 the Jewish population was located in this district. By 1900 the district was one of the most densely populated city of Berlin. Mostly Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe settled there because of new job opportunities in the wake of industrialization.

The inhabitants lived in painful confinement. Today it is a very popular nightlife district and is part of the standard offer of a guided tour of historic Berlin.

STYLE AND REPRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL TIME, Georg Kubler (1912-1996) [del.icio.us]

dieflaneuse — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:39:37 PDT

STYLE AND REPRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL TIME Humans surely are not unique in their capacity for identifying different events as being recurrent. Other animals also project their organic needs under the same guise of identity among successive stimuli.G. A. Brecher showed in 1932 that the snails read space into succession.1 As an art historian, I am overly familiar with the notion of style, which is another way of imposing space upon time and of denying duration under the illusion that successive events are similar events. To spatialize time is a faculty shared both by snails and by historians.
