In these two films, Petzold suggestively crosses the East-West divide of the nation with ethnic, gender, and class difference to expose lingering fault-lines in German society. By focusing on Petzold's correlation of East-West German with German-Turkish tensions under the rubric of an expanded conception of ethnicity, the political content of Petzold's works is described in terms of their negative finding: that it is as impossible to be an East-West German as it is to be a German-Turk in the new nation. In a redress of the limits placed on hybrid forms of identity, Petzold subtly confronts his spectators with their own complicity in the mechanisms of identitarian restriction. This constitutes the political impact of his films. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Film/TV Criticism and Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2012 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
