FORGOTTEN DREAMS: WERNER HERZOG’S ROMANTIC CINEMA</p>
<p class="rteindent1" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em 2em; padding: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; border: none; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">
Herzog’s films re-envision central aspects of romanticism, a major aesthetic, psychological, and cultural force from the 1790s to the present. This argument permits a lively reconnection with romantic themes and convictions that have been partly forgotten in
the midst of Germany’s vigorous postwar rejection of much romantic thought, yet are still operative today. The film analyses will engage those interested in ongoing attempts by Western and other cultures to re-negotiate relationships between reason and passion,
civilization and wild nature, knowledge and belief: relationships at the core of German studies in the 21st century. </p>
