Arno Holz vs. Thomas Mann: Modernist Media Fantasies

Abstract

Drawing on the pre-Modernist writings of Arno Holz among others, Janelle Blankenship (Brown University) argues for a significantly changed understanding of the often commented-upon role of technology in Mann's The Magic Mountain (1924). She rethinks Mann's great novel as creating “media hierarchies,” playing technologies off one another and thus aligning them with larger discourse networks.
