Abstract

The article discusses the archival logic at work in the Querschnitt montage that informed the city symphonies and other forms of visual culture in Germany in the late 1920s. It notes that the term "Querschnitt", best known for its use in cross-sectional films, tended to designate the examination of the relations between simultaneous phenomena rather than the cause-and-effect association between contiguous events. The resonance of the term "Querschnitt" in Weimar visual culture is indicated.
