Summary:
Concerned with the connection between the built environment and the passage of time, ''Reframing Berlin'' uses film locations in the city to reveal the influence that urban transformation has on memory-making. Covering the city’s history since the beginning of cinema, the book proposes the term urban strategy to understand the range of consequential actions taken by politicians, developers, and other powerful figures to shape the nature and future of buildings, streets, and districts. Organizing these strategies from demolition to memorialization, the authors study the ways these actions forget or recall aspects of place. Using cinematic representations of Berlin as an audiovisual archive, the study details how the city has adjusted to its traumatic twentieth-century history through architectural transformations. Two dissimilar case studies frame each strategy, indicating that an approach that works for one building may not be sufficient for another.

Summary:
Berlin's history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of particular urban surfaces, from which the present-day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. In this publication, cultural historian Stephen Barber explores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film that have both incised Berlin's urban screens and been inspired by them. Drawing on a vast range of material - from the first films of Berlin in the 1890s to the city's place in contemporary digital art - this book takes the form of a series of image-propelled journeys across the face of Berlin and through its urban histories, excavating the ricochets among the city, art, and film. In Barber's hands, Berlin's walls become apertures that mediate the city's preoccupations and manias, damage and scars, strata and outgrowths, sexual obsessions, and urban vanishings. The Walls of Berlin is a cultural history of the city's memories-as well as its acts of forgetting-that illuminates overlooked spaces and the sensory presences that inhabit them.

Peut-être est-ce parce que la ruine, telle qu'elle s'incarne au cinéma, que ce soit comme décombres de guerre ou vestiges antiques, chantier désaffecté ou lambeau de pellicule rescapé, exacerbe ce lien mélancolique, quasi ontologique, qui nous attache au temps et à la mémoire du cinéma (c'est-à-dire, comme le dirait Daney, à " la promesse d'un monde "): présence d'une absence, insaisissable trop tard, toujours-déjà passé, en train de disparaître. Ce brillant essai s'intéresse ainsi à décrire ces moments de cinéma où le temps, sous diverses modalités, apparaît de manière sensible, en tant qu'expérience. Ces pages décrivent moins une histoire en bonne et due forme de la ruine au cinéma, qu'un parcours subjectif de fragments disparates qui constitue un programme possible et très partiel de cet attrait.
