Poor, But Sexy: Reflections on Berlin Scenes offers readers a varied cross-section of the city’s scenes, providing a prismatic view of one of Europe’s mythical cultural capitals. The authors gathered here address a range of topics, including Turkish gay clubs, queer filmmaking, record labels, the legendary Russendisko, electronic music festivals, the city’s famous techno scene, the clandestine dimensions of its nighttime club culture, and the fraught emergence of the Mediaspree. With the shifting context of post-Wende Berlin its backdrop, this collection puts into relief an electic array of case studies, presenting to readers interested in exploring urban issues a number of critical and analytical perspectives on the city’s cultural life as it moves into the twenty-first century. Poor, But Sexy is an important contribution to the critical analysis of the cultural spaces in the city, and allows readers access to one of the few scholarly overviews of Berlin’s varied cultural life available in English.

Figure importante mais inclassable de l'histoire intellectuelle du XXe siècle en Allemagne, Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) fut quelque peu occulté par les penseurs de sa génération avec lesquels il était en relation comme Ernst Bloch, Theodor W. Adorno ou Walter Benjamin. Pourtant, loin d'être un épigone de ce qu'on appellera plus tard l'" Ecole de Francfort ", Kracauer anticipe largement les analyses de Adorno et Horkheimer sur la " dialectique de la raison ", c'est-à-dire le diagnostic d'un basculement de la rationalité dans la barbarie. Dans ces brillants essais datant de la République de Weimar et, pour l'essentiel, parus dans le " feuilleton " du Frankfurter Zeitung, Siegfried Kracauer explore les nouveaux phénomènes culturels les spectacles de variétés, les revues de girls où les corps servent d'ornements mobiles, les " best-sellers ", le roman policier, le cinéma... Il s'en saisit pour réfléchir sur les ambivalences de la modernité, porteuse d'une promesse d'émancipation, mais aussi lourde de menaces de régression, comme en témoignera l'arrivée des Nazis au pouvoir en 1933. Méfiante envers les cadres théoriques trop rigides, qui barrent l'accès aux phénomènes, la pensée singulière de Kracauer se construit dans une confrontation directe et sensible avec la culture urbaine et ses formes culturelles : c'est en partant des " manifestations discrètes de surface " qu'il devient selon lui possible de déterminer le " lieu qu'une époque occupe dans le processus historique ". Cet ouvrage constitue une des premières analyses lucides de la culture de masse.
