Anne Fritz was of invaluable help in making it possible to illustrate this volume. I also would like to acknowledge Chris Bailes for preparing this book’s index. Preliminary versions of some portions of this book have previously appeared as articles. In all cases, however, earlier essays underwent significant rewriting and reconceptualization. For their kind permission to make selected use of published materials, I would like to acknowledge the German Studies Review, for “Redeeming History? Foster’s Dome and the Political Imaginary of the Berlin Republic,” 24.2 (2001): 303–323; Boydell and Brewer, Ltd., for “Stereoscopic Vision: Sight and Community in Wagner’s Die Meistersinger,” in Wagner’s Meistersinger: Performance, History, Representation, ed. Nicholas Vazsonyi (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2003) 73–97; and Palgrave Macmillan, for “Windows 33/45: Nazi Politics and the Cult of Stardom,” in Fascism and Neofascism: Critical Writings on the Radical Right in Europe, ed. Eric Weitz and Angelica Fenner (New York: Palgrave, 2004) 43–66. Several institutions have contributed to this project. Grants from the American Council of Learned Societies and the Alexander Humboldt Foundation were essential to secure the time and space for the conceptualization of individual chapters and arguments. Washington University in St. Louis provided me with many additional resources to conduct research and carry out the writing . I owe particular gratitude to Edward Macias, dean of Arts and Sciences at Washington University, for offering financial support to illustrate this volume. Acknowledgments vii I am also grateful for having had the opportunity to present some of the ideas put forward in this book in various lectures. Drafts of different chapters were delivered at the University of Michigan, the University of Minnesota, New York University, Stanford University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Washington, and the University of Wisconsin. Most of this book was written and rewritten during a sabbatical stay in Berlin. I am thankful to all those who turned this year into such a memorable, productive, and revitalizing one; and first and foremost, to Nicola and Kirstin, whose eagerness to explore distant realities during this time opened new windows for all of us.
