Berlin School Glossary is the first major publication to mark the increasing international importance of a group of contemporary German and Austrian filmmakers initially known as the Berlin School: Christian Petzold, Thomas Arslan, Christoph Hochhäusler, Jessica Hausner, and others. The study elaborates on the innovative strategies and formal techniques that distinguish these films, specifically questions of movement, space, spectatorship, representation, desire, location, and narrative. Abandoning the usual format of essaylength analyses of individual films and directors, the volume is organized as an actual glossary with entries such as bad sex, cars, the cut, endings, familiar places, forests, ghosts, hotels, interiority, landscapes, siblings, surveillance, swimming pools, and wind. This unique format combined with an informative introduction will be essential to scholars and fans of the German New Wave.

Mit dem Oberbegriff 'das Primitive' werden ganz verschiedene gesellschaftliche Gruppen bezeichnet: Exoten und Exzentriker, Obdachlose und einfache Leute vom Lande. Ihr Auftreten in der Großstadt um 1900 wird von den Autoren unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten reflektiert.
