Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audiovisual narratives of a »biopic of the nation«, and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.

Für gewöhnlich versteht man die Welt, in der man lebt. Man kommt zurecht, auch wenn man im Einzelnen manches nicht versteht. Das ist in der Regel kein Problem – aber gelegentlich wird es zum Problem. Und das kann Folgen haben, bis dahin, dass man "die Welt nicht mehr versteht", oder dass sich der Verdacht regt, unterhalb unseres Verstehens gähne der Abgrund des eigentlich gar nichts Verstehens? Ist "zu verstehen" nur eine Gewohnheit, die uns lieb geworden ist? In den vorliegenden Beiträgen wird "Nicht Verstehen" aus verschiedenen Perspektiven angegangen: jenen von Literaturwissenschaft, Philosophie, Religionsphilosophie, Wissenschaftstheorie, Theologie, Kunst-, Film- und Medienwissenschaften, Kulturwissenschaft und Psychologie.
