Krátky popis
Britain. Made in Europe. In the 1930s, tens of thousands of central
Europeans sought sanctuary from fascism in Britain.While the rainy,
seemingly quaint island they discovered on arrival was a far cry
from the dynamism of Weimar Berlin or Red Vienna, it was safe, and
it became home. Yet the émigrés had not arrived alone: they brought
with them new and radical ideas, and as they began to rebuild their
lives and livelihoods, they transformed the face of Britain
forever. Drawing on an immense cast of artists and intellectuals,
including celebrated figures like Erno Goldfinger, forgotten
luminaries like Ruth Glass, and a host of larger-than-life
visionaries and charlatans, the historian Owen Hatherley argues
that in the resulting clash between European modernism and British
moderation, our imaginations were fundamentally realigned and
remade for the better.In casting what Bertolt Brecht called, in a
new German word, a Verfremdungseffekt, an ‘alienation effect’, on
Britain, the aliens made us all a little bit alien too.
Provocative, entertaining and meticulously researched, The
Alienation Effect opens our eyes to the influence of the émigrés
all around us – many of our most quintessentially British icons are
the product of this culture clash – and entreats us to remember and
renew our proud national tradition of asylum.
