How provisionally I would choose this:
"The move Expressionism to Neue Sachlichkeit: the technique of denial and apology."
The milieu is over-excited in the Weimar Republic, where the lively debate between technology and culture is a bitter point of contention: one is one of the world's most powerful production apparatus, the other a population imbued with an irrepressible sense Community. It is observed that the generation of artists after World War I pass from a first moment of rejection of the "machine" as dehumanizing and destructive of social bonds, a second time to enthusiastic acceptance of "data objective "(including the box itself).
(I would like to reserve for future expansion of this theme in other areas: the oscillation between Luddites and technological triumphalism can be found in much American fiction after World War II - more often with apocalyptic veins etc ... However depends on the time and size that will take our project).
Best wishes to all, Nicola
