Film Studies
Jaimey Fisher (2001-02)
Jaimey is an Associate Professor in the Department of German at the
University of California, Davis. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell
University in German Studies with a minor in Film and Video Studies. His
primary research interests include film studies, twentieth-century
literature, and intellectual history. Along those last lines, he is the
coeditor of a volume, titled "Critical Theory: Current State and Future
Prospects" (Berghahn, 2001). For his German Chancellor Fellowship
project, he researched notions of youth and family in the late 1940s
"rubble-film" as well as the debates about reeducation. The project
examined the rubble-films' ambivalence toward youth, family, and
reeducation in the postwar reconstruction of masculinity. The book based
on this project came out in Wayne State UP's Kritik Series and is
entitled "Disciplining Germany: Youth, Reeducation, and Reconstruction
after the Second World War". He's now at work on a project on war films
from the first half of the twentieth-century and is coediting a book on
contemporary German cinema, entitled "Collapse of the Conventional". (6/19/09)
