Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966): Collected Works
by cominsitu
“The position that an epoch occupies in the historical process can be determined more strikingly from an analysis of its inconspicuous surface-level expressions than from that epoch’s judgments about itself. Since these judgments are expressions of the tendencies of a particular era, they do not offer conclusive testimony about its overall constitution. The surface-level expressions, however, by virtue of their unconscious nature, provide unmediated access to the fundamental substance of the state of things. Conversely, knowledge of this state of things depends on the interpretation of these surface-level expressions. The fundamental substance of an epoch and its unheeded impulses illuminate each other reciprocally.” – Kracauer, The Mass Ornament, 1927

Ok, the few English-language Kracauer texts I have (in PDF form) – by which I mean the ones which seem to NOT be in this archive so far – vary from tiny and/or relatively trivial to substantial and interesting. In no particular order:

Only after going through my stuff and finally putting all of the Kracauer stuff in one place did I look at the NGC Special Issue on Kracauer and find Tom Levin’s ‘Siegfried Kracauer in English: A Bibliography’…
Fantastic, thank you. None of these essays are collected in the published anthologies?
Not that I could see from a brief look. Might have missed one somewhere though…
