title = "Eine Reise ans Ende der Nacht: Moderne und Modernisieruns{\"a}ngste in Friedrich Wilhelm Murnaus {"}Sunrise{"}",
abstract = "This essay explores how Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau{\textquoteright}s classic silent film Sunrise (1927) participates in discourses of modernity in the mid- to late-1920s. It shows that the film – against many prior interpretations – can be read as a timely contribution to specific US-American debates: discourses about the big city, the new consumer society, tourism, the emancipation of the New Woman, and changing morals. The film thus documents in audiovisual form a discontent with rapid modernization – a discontent the film mitigates in dialectical form. ",
